ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The aim of the study was to compare the success/failure rate and complications of insertion into the umbilical vein, of either double-lumen catheters (Charrière diameter 04, length 13 and 30 cm) or single-lumen catheters (Charrière diameter 05, length 40 cm) in a population of neonates admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit. The numbers of insertions of additional peripheral venous catheters were also compared. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
The population was divided into two groups according to the severity of the respiratory failure. Group 1 (n = 52) normal hemodynamic parameters and moderate respiratory failure (FiO2 < 0.6) only single-lumen catheters were used. Group 2 (n = 56) low systemic pressure requiring vascular filling and/or inotropic drugs infusion and/or severe respiratory failure (FiO2 > 0.6) in this group, either single-lumen catheters or double-lumen catheters were inserted.RESULTS:
The success rate of insertion of double-lumen catheters and of single-lumen catheters were similar (61% vs 71% P = 0.7). Nineteen double-lumen catheters were inserted in the group 2. The average duration of double-lumen umbilical catheterization was not significantly different from simple-lumen catheterization (4.9 +/- 2.2 vs 4.6 +/- 2.2 days). Complications relating to the umbilical venous catheterization were uncommon three catheter obstructions (two with single-lumen catheter, one with double-lumen catheters), two nosocomial infections (both with single-lumen catheter), one hydropericardium (with single-lumen catheter). In group 2, more peripheral venous catheters were required during the first 72 hours of life after insertion of single-lumen catheter than after insertion of double-lumen catheters (average number of peripheral venous catheters per infant 1.6 +/- 0.83 vs 1 +/- 0.35 respectively; P < 0.01).CONCLUSION:
Feasibility and complication rate of umbilical double-lumen catheters were similar to those of single-lumen catheters. The use of umbilical double-lumen catheters reduces the need of peripheral venous catheters.
