A neonatal PICC can be inserted at the patient's bedside with the use of an analgesic agent and radiographic verification, and it can remain in place for several weeks or months. The consultants and ASA members strongly agree with the recommendations to wipe catheter access ports with an appropriate antiseptic (e.g., alcohol) before each access when using an existing central venous catheter for injection or aspiration and to cap central venous catheter stopcocks or access ports when not in use. Citation searching (backward and forward) of relevant meta-analyses and other systematic reviews was also performed; pre-2011 studies relevant to meta-analyses or use of ultrasound were eligible for inclusion.

The rate of return was 17.4% (n = 19 of 109). For these guidelines, central venous access is defined as placement of a catheter such that the catheter is inserted into a venous great vessel.

Case reports describe severe injury (e.g., hemorrhage, hematoma, pseudoaneurysm, arteriovenous fistula, arterial dissection, neurologic injury including stroke, and severe or lethal airway obstruction) when unintentional arterial cannulation occurs with large-bore catheters (Category B4-H evidence).169178, An RCT comparing a thin-wall needle technique versus a catheter-over-the-needle for right internal jugular vein insertion in adults reports equivocal findings for first-attempt success rates and frequency of complications (Category A3-E evidence)179; for right-sided subclavian insertion in adults an RCT reports first-attempt success more likely and fewer complications with a thin-wall needle technique (Category A3-B evidence).180 One RCT reports equivocal findings for first-attempt success rates and frequency of complications when comparing a thin-wall needle with catheter-over-the-needle technique for internal jugular vein insertion (preferentially right) in neonates (Category A3-E evidence).181 Observational studies report a greater frequency of complications occurring with increasing number of insertion attempts (Category B3-H evidence).182184 One nonrandomized comparative study reports a higher frequency of dysrhythmia when two central venous catheters are placed in the same vein (right internal jugular) compared with placement of one catheter in the vein (Category B1-H evidence); differences in carotid artery punctures or hematomas were not noted (Category B1-E evidence).185.
