  1. skin to skin with UVCs

    marpcurn posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal
    I am working on a CLABSI (central line associated blood stream infection) project for my unit and I need to know if your unit allows preemies with a UVC line to do skin to skin care..... why or why not. I cannot find anything in the literature about this specific topic. The literature does support nursing to wear gloves when caring for a preemie with UAC/UVC to prevent CLABSI, so do you think it is acceptable to have your UVC and umbilical stump in contact with mom/dad's bare skin for any amount of time? (think of the last time your peeled a baby off a sweaty parent) I know and love the benefits of skin to skin care, but also want to protect my patients from infection!! Also, if you have any links to any literature that supports your policy/philosophy that would be wonderful!
