Relationship between CLABSI and PICC dwell time in neonates

Abstract:

The central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is a common and serious complication of central venous catheterization, which can lead to various short-term and long-term adverse outcomes. Neonatal CLABSI did not increase linearly with the prolongation of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). When the umbilical venous catheter (UVC) is retained for more than 1-2 weeks, the incidence of neonatal CLABSI may increase significantly; PICC replacement at 7-10 days after UVC indwelling may reduce the incidence of CLABSI, but it has not been supported by evidence-based medicine. This article reviews the related studies between neonatal CLABSI and catheter dwell time, in order to plan the indwelling time more reasonably and prevent CLABSI better.
