ObjectiveTo compare the incidence of nonelective removal of single-lumen silicone and dual-lumen polyurethane percutaneously inserted central catheters (PICCs).Study DesignA prospective cohort study was conducted with neonates in whom 247 PICC lines had been successfully inserted. Patients were assigned to either the single-lumen silicone group or the dual-lumen polyurethane group and nonelective removal incidence was compared using a logistic regression model.ResultsIncidence of nonelective removal in dual-lumen polyurethane PICCs (n = 91) was 48.3% versus 34% in single-lumen silicone PICCs (n = 156). Thus, dual-lumen polyurethane catheters had a significantly increased chance of nonelective removal compared with single-lumen silicone PICCs (P = .004). The most usual complication in dual-lumen polyurethane PICCs was suspected catheter-related bloodstream infection; in single-lumen silicone PICCs it was external rupture.ConclusionsDual-lumen polyurethane PICCs are associated with higher rates of nonelective removal and complications such as suspected catheter-related bloodstream infection. Cautious nursing care is necessary to prevent complications.
