چکیده
AIM A new technique allowing placement of umbilical silicone venous catheters (USVC) is described and compared with percutaneous silicone venous catheters (PSVC). METHODS Data were retrospectively recorded for 198 infants with USVC and 141 infants with PSVC. RESULTS Overall rate of complications was low and comparable in both groups: thrombosis 1.2%, catheter-related sepsis 3.5% and mechanical obstruction 5%. CONCLUSION A new device allows safe introduction of silicone catheters into the umbilical vein.

متن کاملFracture of a Broviac catheter in a low-birth-weight infant.
Central venous catheters are widely used in children, particularly in very-low-birth-weight infants in whom long-term access to the venous system is required. This may be achieved by using peripherally inserted central catheters or tunnelled central venous lines (eg Broviac or Hickman lines). Previous case reports of fractured central catheters in premature neonates have involved peripherally i...
