Abstract
The implementation of the new bundle to secure neonatal PICCs in our NICU was associated with a significant reduction in CLABSI and dislodgment rates, without glue-related complications. Active surveillance of CVC placement procedure, positioning, and management, as well as analysis of related complications is crucial for improving patient safety. Continuous implementation of up-to-date central line bundles based on best practice recommendations is a key for quality improvement in NICUs. • Stable vascular access is crucial in the NICU. Neonatal PICC securement issues can have serious consequences and are associated with device failure. • Catheter securement with tissue adhesive is safe and effective in reducing failure and complication rates in the neonatal population.
