Part 1 of the series: Neonatal Vascular Access: A Practical Guide to PICCs and Midlines Introduction Neonatal vascular access decisions are rarely straightforward. Clinicians must balance therapy requirements, anticipated treatment duration, vessel health and future...
Part 2 of the series: Neonatal Vascular Access: A Practical Guide to PICCs and Midlines Introduction For neonatal patients, veins are a finite resource. Every cannulation attempt, device replacement and vascular access procedure has the potential to affect future...
Part 3 of the series: Neonatal Vascular Access: A Practical Guide to PICCs and Midlines Introduction Every vascular access attempt matters. Failed insertion attempts may contribute to procedural delays, vessel trauma, increased workload and reduced future access...
Part 4 of the series: Neonatal Vascular Access: A Practical Guide to PICCs and Midlines Introduction The successful insertion of a PICC or Midline is a significant achievement in neonatal vascular access, but long-term success depends on what happens next. Maintenance...
Part 5 of the series: Neonatal Vascular Access: A Practical Guide to PICCs and Midlines Introduction Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) and Midlines are essential tools in neonatal care, supporting the delivery of medications, parenteral nutrition, fluids...
Part 6 of the series: Neonatal Vascular Access: A Practical Guide to PICCs and Midlines Introduction Considerable attention is rightly given to device selection, insertion and maintenance, yet timely catheter removal is equally important. A vascular access device that...
Part 7 of the series: Neonatal Vascular Access: A Practical Guide to PICCs and Midlines Introduction Neonatal vascular access is often viewed through the lens of individual devices, procedures and complications. However, the highest-performing neonatal units typically...
The question of whether neonatal peripherally inserted central catheters (nPICCs) can safely be cut to length continues to arise in clinical practice. Although some clinicians shorten lines to assist with dressing application or reduce external looping, available...
Neonatal care often necessitates reliable vascular access for the administration of parenteral nutrition, medications, and other critical therapies. The Modified Seldinger Technique (MST) has emerged as a valuable method for inserting neonatal peripherally inserted...
