Objective: To explore factors that influence extravasation in premature infants after the application of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). Methods: A total of 285 premature infants who were placed with PICC were enrolled. Influencing factors of extravasation including age, weight, age of fetus, and tip location were analyzed. Results: The extravasation rate was significantly higher in 24-hour premature infants than in infants who were over 24 hours (P < 0.05). Babies with a tip location in axilla vein had significantly higher rate of PICC extravasation than in subclavian vein and superior vena cava. Age of fetus and weight were not significantly correlated with PICC extravasation (P > 0.05). Conclusions: PICC should not be inserted in premature infants within 24 hours after their birth. Tip location of PICC should be placed into superior vena cava.
