Blood draws for laboratory investigations are essential for patient management in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). When blood samples clot before analysis, they are rejected, which delays treatment decisions and necessitates repeated sampling.

Evidence-based insertion and maintenance strategies for neonatal vascular access devices (VAD) exist to reduce the causes of VAD failure and complications in neonates. Peripheral intravenous catheter failure and complications including, infiltration, extravasation, phlebitis, dislodgement with/without …

Intravenous vascular access (VA) is essential in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Short peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) are the most frequently used short-term device.1 Many unmodifiable and potentially modifiable factors affect the incidence of complications, contributing to the success …
