Epicutaneo-caval catheter (ECC) has been widely used in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). ECC line Knots in intravascular is an unexpected complication and has been reported in adults mostly. Few cases reported knot formation during ECC insertion and removal in neonates. In this case, we introduced a spontaneous knot formation during the insertion of the central catheter, which was finally successfully removed.

Background: Epicutaneo-caval catheters (ECC) are vital in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) in enabling prolonged venous access. Despite their benefits, central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) pose a potential risk. The ECC removal procedure may contribute to an increased risk of post removal sepsis through biofilm release.

In the neonatal intensive care units (NICU), epicutaneo-caval catheters (ECCs) are common alternative vascular routes. Pericardial effusion (PCE) and cardiac tamponade (CT) are rare but serious complications in infants with ECCs. It may be asymptomatic or present with a variety of significant clinical signs, including dyspnea, bradycardia, sudden asystole, and hypotension.

Chest and abdominal X-rays after the insertion of an epicutaneo-caval catheter in infants are the standard method of checking the tip location in many neonatal intensive care units. The role of ultrasound in the tip location of the epicutaneo-caval catheter in neonates has been the subject of many recent studies. This systematic review investigates the accuracy of epicutaneo-caval catheter tip location by comparing ultrasound and conventional radiology.
