Maneuvers to Facilitate Central Venous Catheter Advancement in the Clavicular Region: An Integrative Review.

In many situations, central venous catheters (CVCs), inserted by central or peripheral venipuncture, do not progress, even after performing some movement of the shoulder, head, and neck. This integrative review aimed to verify the scientific evidence about maneuvers to facilitate the advancement of CVCs in the clavicular region and/or shoulder in adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients. Primary studies with available electronic abstracts, independent of idiom or publication year, for which results showed aspects related to descriptions of maneuvers for CVC advancement in the clavicular region and shoulder, were included in the review.

Peripherally inserted central catheter in newborns: association of number of punctures, vein, and tip positioning.

Objective: to assess the use of peripherally inserted central catheters regarding the neonate's profile, indications for use, and catheterized vein; the relation between the number of puncture attempts and vein; and assessment of the catheter tip position.

Method: documentary, descriptive, retrospective, quantitative study, developed in a tertiary maternity hospital in Ceará. A total of 3,005 PICC insertion formularies was included and 1,583 were excluded due to incomplete data, with a convenience sampling of 1,422 insertions being obtained.
