Abstract

Objective: to report cases of complication and retention of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in newborns admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Method: descriptive study, of the case reports type, carried out from May to October 2022, in a hospital in southern Brazil. Results: Two cases of coiling/knot formation and PICC retention were identified. In the first case, there was difficulty in removing the catheter right after its insertion, requiring surgical removal. In the second case, the PICC was identified by radiography in the antecubital fossa of the neonatal upper limb, without migration from the tip to the central region. This PICC was removed by manual traction, without resistance or complications. Conclusion: the formation of balls or knots in PICC and retention are rare complications, being aware of this event allows the construction of evidence and strategies for prevention and adequate management in professional practice.
