Abstract

This article aimed to identify and describe the main practices related to the insertion, maintenance, and removal of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in a neonatal intensive care unit. This was a quantitative, descriptive, retrospective cross-sectional study conducted at a private hospital in western Paraná between January 2021 and January 2024. Medical records of 116 patients who received the catheter were included. Data underwent descriptive and analytical analysis; Poisson regression was used to analyze the factors. National ethical guidelines were observed. Results indicate an 87.6% success rate for first-attempt insertion; the upper limbs were the most common insertion site (68.1%), and antibiotic administration was the primary indication (53.4%). During catheter use, 89.2% of cases showed no complications, and elective removal of the device occurred in 68.7% of instances. The findings reinforce clinical protocols for proper device management, promoting best care practices and the prevention of complications.
