Abstract

Objectives To investigate the effectiveness and safety of peripherally inserted central catheters(PICC)and peripheral intravenous catheters(PIV)in neonates. Methods A retrospective review of neonates with PICC(n = 113)and PIV(n = 102)was conducted to determine if there were difference in catheter-related complication rates,duration of IV use and average weight gain between them. Results The complication rates were significantly lower in the PICC group than that of the PIV group(P 0.05). There was significantly difference in the duration IV use between the two groups(P 0.05),but no significant difference in average weight gain(P 0.05). Conclusions PICC lines reduced the catheter-related complications and may prolong the duration of IV use.
