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.

Alcoholic povidoneiodine to prevent central venous catheter colonization: A randomized unit-crossover study. This is a particular concern during peripheral insertion or insertion of catheters via the axillary vein or subclavian vein, when ultrasound scanning of the internal jugular vein may rule out a 'wrong' upward direction of the catheter or wire. Ultrasound Guided Femoral Central Line Insertion - YouTube These suggestions include, but are not limited to, positioning the patient in the Trendelenburg position, using the Valsalva maneuver, applying direct pressure to the puncture site, using air-occlusive dressings, and monitoring the patient for a reasonable period of time after catheter removal.
