[Survival and complication rate of central venous catheters in newborns].

Background: In the current medical practice, central venous catheters (CVC) are very useful; however, their use involves certain risks, which increase morbidity and mortality, especially in newborns. The aim of this study was to describe both the frequency of complications and survival of CVC placed in newborns hospitalized in a third level neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
Methods: A descriptive, observational and prospective study was carried-out in the NICU from the Hospital de Pediatría, Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI.
Background: We undertook this study to compare the frequency and type of complications, as well as the length of hospital stay, in children who underwent closed cardiovascular surgery with chest tube drainage during the postsurgical period with children in whom the drainage was withdrawn with continuous suction, once thoracotomy was completed.
Methods: A retrospective, descriptive and analytic study was performed at the IMSS Hospital de Pediatria, located at the XXI Century National Medical Center in Mexico City. Eighty eight children who underwent closed cardiovascular surgery (Group I) without chest tubes and 42 with chest tubes (Group II) were studied.
Objective: To identify risk factors associated to surgical site infection (SSI) in newborns.
Design: Case-control study. Site.
Unlabelled: The objective was to identify prognostic factors associated with mortality in newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
Methods: Study design was cases and controls nested in a cohort. We studied 65 newborns.
