The use of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters continues to be a pivotal area of practice for neonates requiring vascular access for life-sustaining therapies. In this session, we’ll review the most recent evidence for selecting which patients can benefit from PICCs, and best practices for preventive strategies for complications, monitoring and care. Emerging literature continues to build regarding new technology, dressing management, teams and complications prevention. These updated guidelines resulted from analysis by a working group of neonatal clinical subject matter experts, who evaluated the published evidence and developed key recommendations for care and management.
