Summary

Peripheral venous catheterization represents the preferential option for term or preterm infant care in order to start drug treatment or hydration, or perform anesthesia. However, the peripheral venous access is associated in approximately 50% of cases with a failure of the insertion on the first attempt in an emergency context. Using a micro-guide may facilitate the peripheral venous catheterization in newborns, by guiding the catheter in the vein and, thereby reduce the risk of transfixion of the vascular lumen.

Conditions

• Newborns
• Neonatology
• Intensive Care

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Insertion of peripheral venous catheter with micro-guide	After antisepsis, the vein is punctured using a needle. Then the micro-guide is inserted to the first landmark, which indicates the passage of the micro-guide beyond the end of the needle. After the needle removed, the peripheral venous catheter is placed on the micro-guide. The guide is then removed, the peripheral venous catheter can be used.
OTHER	Classic insertion of peripheral venous catheter, without micro-guide	After antisepsis, the catheter is introduced into the vein by a needle which is subsequently removed while the catheter remains in place.
