摘要：
Objective: Comparison of complications associated with tunneled central venous lines (TCVLs) versus peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in infants < 1500 g. Study design: A retrospective cohort study at a university medical center. A total of 96 catheters were placed in 60 infants between 4/94 and 3/99. A retrospective review of these infants' medical record was done to review associated complications of catheter placement. Results: Both groups had similar weights and gestational ages. The duration of catheterization was 28 days in TCVLs and 11 days in PICCs (p<0.05). Total, infectious, and mechanical complications between the two groups were similar. Survival function estimates showed no difference between the two groups up to the 15th day of catheterization. Conclusion: There is no difference in efficacy or associated complications between the two groups. If one could anticipate needing a catheter longer than 15 days, then a TCVL might be the better choice.
