Application of epicutaneo-cava catheters with 24G indwelling needles in very low birth weight infants: a safe and simple innovative technique

Epicutaneo-cava catheter (ECC) is an ideal venous access for very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. However, because veins of VLBW infants are thin, ECC catheter is difficult to insert, and the success rate of puncture is low. This study aimed to use ECC with 24G indwelling needles to improve the out...

Zusammenfassung:Epicutaneo-cava catheter (ECC) is an ideal venous access for very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. However, because veins of VLBW infants are thin, ECC catheter is difficult to insert, and the success rate of puncture is low. This study aimed to use ECC with 24G indwelling needles to improve the outcomes of VLBW infants. This retrospective study enrolled 121 VLBW infants (birthweight
