Neonatal Vascular Access: Advancements, Complications, and Prevention
Received Date: Dec 01, 2025 / Published Date: Dec 29, 2025
Abstract
Reliable vascular access in neonates is critical for treatment. Umbilical venous catheters (UVCs) and peripherally inserted central
catheters (PICCs) are commonly used. Advancements focus on insertion techniques, complication reduction (infection, thrombosis),
and novel materials. Ultrasound guidance enhances safety and success. Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) are a con
cern, with antimicrobial-impregnated catheters showing promise. UVC complications and their management are discussed. PICCs
offer a less invasive alternative. Optimizing UVC duration and identifying factors for peripheral cannulation failure are ongoing
efforts. Emerging bioabsorbable materials aim to reduce long-term issues. Management of neonatal thrombosis related to vascular
access is reviewed.
