Background: The use of antimicrobial-impregnated Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters
(PICCs) has been introduced in the last few years to neonatal units aiming to reduce the …

Abstract Backgrounds Catheter-related infections (CRIs) are one of the severe complications
of PICC placement. If treatment is not timely or correct, the incidence of infection and …

Background The use of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in neonates differs
among various institutions and countries because there are no random controlled trials or …

Background Antimicrobial peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) may reduce the
risk of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI). However, data regarding …

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the daily risk of central line–associated bloodstream
infections (CLABSIs) increases over the dwell time of peripherally inserted central catheters …

Purpose Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is an important cause of
complications in paediatric intensive care units (PICUs). Peripherally inserted central …

It is not uncommon that the peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) needs to be
replaced either due to blockage or migration to a peripheral position. In such circumstances …

Background It is necessary to analyze the characteristics and risk factors of catheter-related
bloodstream infection (CRBSI) in newborns with peripherally inserted central catheter …

Objectives The use of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are an integral part of
caring for hospitalised children. We sought to estimate the incidence of and identify the risk …
