Central Venous Lines in Neonates: Are They Safe?

Here we report a series of central venous catheter-related complications in 7 neonates and emphasises the importance of a high index of suspicion for acute clinical deterioration in neonates with central lines. These cases underline the necessity for good skin fixation to prevent onward catheter movement and the importance of reassessment of the catheter position if any unexplained clinical deterioration occurs during parenteral nutrition. Prompt recognition of the problem and rapid treatment are essential and life saving.
