- Abstract
The objective was to describe the epidemiological profile of newborns using peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). This is a retrospective documentary study, with records review in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a University Hospital. There were PICC in 99 newborns, with an average birth weight of 1496.05 kilograms; average parkin of 30,65 weeks; average Apgar score of 4,94 and 6,84 in the first and tenth life minutes; 47,48 configured the average of hospitalization days. The PICC permanence was approximately 13 days, with majority insertion on the first hospitalization day (85,86%), in the upper limbs (72,45%). The predominant indications for insertion were prematurity (59,60%) and intravenous therapy (54,55%). It appears as a profile of the Neonate: Apgar and parkin with low score, being in critical medical conditions; premature; and extreme lower birth weight when born. The insertion of the catheter is brief, mostly on the first day of life, used primarily for total parenteral nutrition, antibiotic-therapy and analgesia.
