    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Pediatric Nutrition

    Background:

    • Central venous catheterization is crucial for parenteral nutrition in neonates.
    • Catheter-related complications pose significant risks in this vulnerable population.
    • Existing techniques may have limitations in terms of safety and nursing management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a modified technique for central venous cannulation in neonates.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this novel approach for total parenteral nutrition.
    • To assess the impact on catheter-related complications and nursing care.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified technique involving cannulation of internal or external jugular veins.
    • Catheter tunneling through a long subcutaneous tunnel to the anterior chest wall.
    • Silastic sheeting fixation secured by skin suture.

    Main Results:

    • Successfully placed over 150 central venous catheters using this method.
    • Demonstrated a reduced rate of catheter-related complications.
    • Reported improved ease of nursing care and excellent overall results.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified technique offers a safe and effective approach for neonatal central venous catheterization.
    • This method leads to fewer complications and enhanced nursing care for infants requiring parenteral nutrition.
    • The technique shows significant promise for improving outcomes in neonatal intensive care settings.
