- Abstract
Objective: The study's purpose has been to assess nursing practices regarding the insertion, maintenance and removal of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter in neonates. Methods: It is a retrospective study that was carried out in a University Hospital with a sample of 137 newborns over the period from 2009 to 2012. Data were collected from medical records and analyzed with statistical tests. Results: The initial positioning of the tip of the catheter was central in 60.6%. There were complications in 53.3% of catheters, and the most common of those were as follows: obstruction (13.1%), infiltration and/or overflow (12.4%). The catheter's permanence time was influenced (p<0.05) by the non-central positioning of the tip, complications, and the non-elective removal. Conclusion: It is important to highlight the need for creating both protocols and educative intervention programs in order to guarantee the patient's safety, and also the assistance quality.
