Epicutaneo‐caval catheter occlusion in neonates without heparin infusion during parenteral nutrition: A descriptive cohort study
This study demonstrates a low rate of epicutaneo-caval catheters occlusion in neonates receiving parenteral nutrition without heparin infusion. These findings support the safety and feasibility of a heparin-free approach in neonatal central catheter management when standardized care protocols are followed.
