Neonatal peripherally inserted central catheter complications

"PICC-related complications are common in neonates, with malposition representing the predominant event and associated with subsequent adverse outcomes. Optimizing insertion site selection, minimizing catheter dwell time, and cautious use of hyperosmolar infusions may reduce PICC-related morbidity in the NICU" Wu and Bo (2026).

IVTEAM

Subclavian approach for pediatric central venous access

"Our results suggest utilizing the subclavian without US guidance is safe and effective for children and AYAs with cancer. This challenges the 2011 ACS recommendation for the use of US guidance in all CVAD placements" Mayon et al (2026).
