We aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors associated with nonselective removal of peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) in neonates. In this prospective cohort study, neonates who underwent PICC placement at neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in China from October 2012 to November 2015 were included. The patient demographics, catheter characteristics, catheter duration, PICC insertion site, indication for PICC insertion, infuscate composition, PICC tip location, and catheter complications were recorded in a computerized database. Risk factors for nonselective removal were analyzed. A total of 497 PICCs were placed in 496 neonates. Nonselective removal occurred in 9.3% of PICCs during 10,540 catheter-days (4.6 nonselective removals per 1,000 catheter-days). These included occlusion (3%), infection (1.4%), leakage (2.0%), phlebitis (0.6%), displacement (1%), pleural effusion(0.6%), and breaks (0.6%). Noncentral tip position was independently associated with an increased risk of nonselective removal (odds ratio 2.621; 95% confidence interval, 1.258-5.461) after adjusting for gestational age, sex, birth weight, and PICC dwell time. No significant differences in the rate of complications occurred between silastic and polyurethane PICC or different insertion sites. Noncentral PICC tip position was the only independent risk factor for nonselective removal of PICC.

Abstract Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate incidence and influencing factors of complications related to central venous catheters (CVCs) in the Pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of Xi'an Children's Hospital.Methods: We analyzed the complications of all children that had CVCs and were hospitalized between June 2020 to February 2021. A total of 334 CVCs were inserted in 310 children.Results: We noted 102 (30.54%) CVCs-related complications. Complications related to CVCs insertion were infection of catheter (13.17%) and malposition of catheter (8.38%), occlusion of CVCs (2.99%), accidental removal (0.6%), puncture site exudate (4.79%), central venous thrombosis (0.6%). Infection mainly due to Staphylococcus epidermidis. 88 cases (24.55%) of CVCs were extubated due to complications. Analysis of the frequency of maintenance-related complications except for center vein thrombosis showed no differences between the jugular, femoral and subclavian vein access (P > 0.05). It was found that the duration of the catheterization use was critical for the occurrence of CVCs-related infections, puncture site exudate, occlusion (P < 0.05). Suture-off, bleeding of insertion site, and the maximum channels of intravenous infusion in patients were dominant risk factors of catheter-related complications. Conclusion: The risk factors of complications during catheter indwelling are suture-off, bleeding of insertion site and the maximum channels of intravenous infusion in patients. Therefore, strict aseptic operation in various operations, control of the infusion channel, effective fixation of the central venous catheter, reduce the malposition and pull of the catheter, and reduce the infiltration of blood at the puncture point, are particularly important to prevent the complications related to the central venous catheter.

BACKGROUND: PICC line use is a common practice in neonatal units, but it is associated with various complications. Catheter migration is the most common complication in neonates. Periodic imaging is recommended to monitor the tip position of the PICCs, but the optimal frequency is undetermined. The incidence, timing and risk factors that are associated with PICC migration have not been fully investigated beyond 24 hrs in neonates. The aim of the study was to determine the incidence, timing and risk factors that are associated with peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) migration in neonates. METHODS: This was a single center, retrospective study of 168 PICCs placed in 141 neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) between 2015 and 2016. The incidence of catheter migration was determined radiographically at 12–24 hrs and every third day after insertion until it was removed. RESULTS: Overall incidence of PICC migration was 28%and most commonly was detected within the first three days after PICC placement (83%). The incidence of PICC migration was higher in males. The PICC migration was associated with difficulty advancing the PICC at the time of insertion and PICC dressing change. CONCLUSION: Serial evaluation of PICC placement in neonates is required to maintain proper position. Based on our experience in our unit, we recommend periodic imaging at 12–24 hrs and on the third day after PICC placement as most migration occurred within three days after insertion.

INTRODUCTION Central venous catheters (CVC) are used in the treatment of critically ill patients. Indications for placement of CVCs include hemodynamic monitoring, administration of intravenous fluids, medications and total parenteral nutrition. MATERIAL AND METHODS We investigated risk factors and effects of glycopeptide antibiotics on the development of central venous catheter-related infections in 300 patients treated in intensive care units. A semiquntitative culture technique was used. The investigation included: age, diagnosis on admission, catheter insertion site, catheter duration, the first or next catheter and using of glycopeptide drugs. RESULTS 91 catheters (30.3%) were colonised, catheter-related infection was found in 50 catheters (16.7%). Infections were more frequent in catheters inserted through the internal jugular vein than in subclavian venous catheters; they were also more frequent if duration of catheterization was longer than seven days, but less frequent in patients who received glycopeptide antibiotics. The isolated microorganism was Staphylococcus aureus. DISCUSSION According to the literature, a number of catheter-related risk factors for infections include: insertion site, type of catheter, the number of manipulations, inadequat asepsis, lumen number, type of antiseptic. The relative importance of one risk factor over another is difficult to assess, given that studies have no priority report. CONCLUSION The duration of catheterization and the insertion site were the most frequent risk factors for infection. The use of glycopeptide antibiotics during catheterization has protective effects.

Abstract Background Cannulation of a central venous catheter is sometimes associated with serious complications. When arterial cannulation occurs, attention must be given to removal of a catheter. Case presentation A 62-year-old man was planned for emergency thoracic endovascular aortic repair. After the induction of anesthesia, a central venous catheter was unintentionally inserted into the right subclavian artery. We planned to remove the catheter. Since we considered that surgical repair would be highly invasive for the patient, we decided to remove it using a percutaneous intravascular stent. A stent was inserted through the right axillary artery. The stent was expanded immediately after the catheter was removed. Post-procedural angiography revealed no leakage from the catheter insertion site and no occlusion of the right subclavian and vertebral arteries. There were no obvious hematoma or thrombotic complications. Conclusions A catheter that has been misplaced into the right subclavian artery was safely removed using an intravascular stent.
