Aim: to  analyze  the knowledge  of  nurses  in the  Neonatal  Intensive Care  Unit  on  the  entry,  handling,  maintenance  and  withdrawal  of  the  peripherally inserted  central  catheter.  Method:  This  is  a  descriptive,  exploratory,  and  qualitative study involving nine  nurses from  the  Neonatal intensive care  unit  of  the  Antonio  Pedro University  Hospital,  Fluminense  Federal  University,  interviewed  based  on  a  semi-structured  script.  The  data  submitted  to  content  analysis  have  originated  thematic categories.   Results:   knowledge   of   nurses   regarding   the   statement,   insertion, maintenance  and  removal  of  the  catheter,  standards  and  protocols  and  professional training  for  the  care  process  are  decisive  for  the  safety  of  care  to  the  newborn. Conclusion: The use of the peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is important in neonatology  for  its  benefits  to  the  infant.  However,  nurses  need  to  deepen  their knowledge so that the care process in the NICU is guided by ethics and based on nursing protocols aiming to base and legitimize such assistance.

The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is, inherently, a trauma environment for the extremely premature infant. This trauma is often exacerbated by nurse caregiving practices that can be modified and still remain effective. Our study explored how behavior analytics could be used to implement an intervention known as Care by Cues and how the intervention might, ultimately, impact infant physiologic stability.
