Abstract
The peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in neonates has solved the long-term venous access needs of hospitalized infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) . The application of technology is accompanied by the risk of complications. Providing safe and high-quality vascular access for neonates through standardized operations is of great significance. The National Association of Neonatal Nurses (NANN) has formulated the Practice Guideline for PICC in Neonates and revised it into the the Practice Guideline for Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter in Neonates (Third Edition) in 2015, aiming to support the bedside nursing practice of neonatal PICC, reduce the occurrence of complications, and promote neonatal safety. This article interprets the recommended points for early identification, management, and prevention of complications after neonatal PICC catheterization in the guidelines.
