    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal medicine
    • Pediatric critical care
    • Medical device safety

    Background:

    • Indwelling tubes and lines are essential in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs).
    • Their use is associated with various potential complications and patient harm.
    • Existing literature often focuses on exhaustive lists rather than prevention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the inherently traumatic nature of tubes and lines in the NICU.
    • To outline general principles for preventing associated complications.
    • To emphasize proactive measures over exhaustive documentation.

    Main Methods:

    • Review and synthesis of known complications associated with NICU tubes and lines.
    • Focus on identifying generalizable principles of prevention.

  • Emphasis on the 'potentially traumatic nature' of device use.

    • Main Results:

    • Complications are often preventable through advance knowledge and attention to detail.
    • Proactive identification of risks associated with indwelling devices is crucial.
    • General preventative principles can mitigate harm.

    Conclusions:

    • Awareness of the risks and adherence to preventative strategies can reduce morbidity.
    • Simple, detail-oriented care practices are key to minimizing complications.
    • Balancing the benefits and hazards of NICU devices is essential for patient safety.
