[Percutaneous silicone catheters in the newborn infant].
246 percutaneous insertions of silastic venous catheters were performed in 189 newborn infants. This technique makes perfusion in newborn easier and safer, with less complication risks and less work for nurses. Furthermore silastic venous catheters insure a better observation of neonatological care methods. As a consequence it improves the vital prognosis and the quality of newborn survival in the newborn intensive care unit.
