  1. Chlorahexadine and PICC management

    adarevalo posted a topic in Infusion, Intravenous
    I am a PICC nurse for a NICU. Recently, we had a run of phlebitis (vein cording) cases within 72 hours of insertion. We are using the 2%chloraprep swabsticks on babies that meet the criteria of >27weeks and 7 days of age. These infants met the criteria. Our PICC team consists of myself and another nurse. We have not changed our insertion technique and never have really had a problem like this. Each of these babies had to have 2-3 drsg changes within the 72 hours for increased bloody drainage at site. Chloraprep used with every drsg change. Has anyone had a problem with chloraprep with PICC insertion or cleaning? thanks
