Abstract

Our study represents the very first step towards the design of a validated protocol for analgosedation during ultrasound-guided CICC insertion in NICU. • Critically ill newborns admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit often require a centrally inserted central catheter. • Achieving an appropriate level of sedation and analgesia is paramount for procedure success and patient safety, avoiding the potential risks associated with excessive deep sedation. • The use of this new protocol for analgosedation is able to achieve a good level of sedation and pain control without significant adverse event. • Ultrasound-guided CICC insertion can be performed even in non-ventilated newborns.
