The effects of maternal voice on pain during placement of peripherally inserted central catheter in neonates.

Background: Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) are a necessary procedure for preterm newborns care. Despite the use of analgesic treatments, its insertion can be painful. Our objective was to study the effect of maternal voice on pain during PICC insertion.

Cognitive aid and performance for simulated umbilical venous catheter placement: A randomized trial.

Introduction: Neonatal resuscitation may require urgent umbilical venous catheter (UVC) placement. Complications can be observed with umbilical venous catheterization, especially in a stressful context. Inspired by the aeronautic environment, medical routine checklists, also called "cognitive aids," secure the equipment and environment for the patients once they are admitted to the operating room.
