Summary: | Aim: analyze the use of peripherally inserted central catheter in terms of the aspects of technique, positioning and maintenance, as well as the influence on the number of venous dissections in hospitalized infants in a neonatal unit. Method: descriptive, retrospective, quantitative study, in reference maternity unit of a city in northeastern Brazil. Sample composed of 1,599 peripherally inserted central catheter insertions in 1,204 infants during the years 2006 to 2013. Instruments were used that recorded aspects of the insertion of peripherally inserted central catheter and venous dissection. Results: most babies were premature, of low birth weight and male. The veins of the cubital region were the most punctured with insertion success until the fourth puncture. The central positioning of the catheter tip predominated, with a permanency time between 11 and 20 days, removing it at the end of the treatment. Over the years, the number of venous dissections was inversely proportional to the insertion of peripherally inserted central catheter. Conclusion: this transvenous device was shown to be important for the treatment of hospitalized newborns, favoring reduction of venous dissections. |
