[A prospective study of the efficacy of bacterial filters in preventing complications of central parenteral nutrition in the newborn infant].
To investigate the capacity of bacterial filters to prevent complications of the central venous nutrition in neonates, 100 percutaneous central catheters were placed in 94 neonates: 50 catheters was used with a bacterial filter and 50 without filter. No significant difference appeared between the 2 groups for the frequency of complications. Complications should be avoided with a rigorous technique in the maintenance.
