Vascular access devices and associated complications in paediatric critical care: A prospective cohort study
Approximately 1 in 5 vascular devices had one or more complications in ICU, most devices continued to be used without removal, and some complications resolved. The implications of the fluids infused to maintain device function warrants further study, as do strategies to resolve or limit the their complications in children.
