[Percutaneous catheterization. Experience in a neonatal intensive care unit].
157 percutaneous catheterizations were performed in 114 neonates. Besides the advantages of a central catheter, this easier technique allows to save the large vessels. However, the risks of severe complications (5 septicemias, 5 intrathoracic effusions of which 5 deaths) lead to strictly restrict its indications. Complications should be avoided with a perfect technique: strict asepsis and positioning of the end of catheter.
