Durable Central Venous Access for Pediatric Cardiac Patients: Secondary Analysis of a Single-Center, Retrospective Cohort Study, 2015–2021
In our 2015-2021 PCICU experience of using durable TF-CVC inserted at the bedside, vs. upper extremity PICCs, in neonates and infants, we found an associated one-third the odds of CLABSI and overall complications. A prospective study of subcutaneous tunneling in various locations of catheters on CLABSI and overall complication rates is needed.
