Risk factors for Hickman-Broviac catheter complications: An experience from a Tunisian hospital

Abstract: Background: Hickman-Broviac catheters have improved the care of young children needing frequent and prolonged venous access, but at the same times it has substantial morbidity, particularly in a resource-constrained setup. Our study aims to describe the experience of a Tunisian hospital and investigate the main risk factors for complications. Methods: In this study, we included all the neonates and infants who underwent Broviac catheter insertion in the pediatric surgery department. The patients were divided i… Show more

“…Sample size calculation: The sample size was calculated to be 86 (43 patients in each group) considering 60.3% the incidence of complications in a previous study in the same department [3], versus 23.03 % in the preliminary results from the data of the first 13 patients included in this study. A study sample of 43 patients in each group is required for a 95% confidence level and a 5% margin of error.…”

“…Open access adequate venous access devices, the lack of experience, and nursing quality. 4 Therefore, enhancing healthcare team outcomes by assessing complications, investigating the risk factors for complications, and using an interprofessional approach with regular feedback is mandatory to reduce catheter-related morbidity. 6 The aim of this study is to assess our experience in the management of pediatric SVCs and to investigate the main risk factors for complications.…”

“…3 The type, incidence and risk factors for complications depend on the experience of the healthcare team, the indications for central line insertion and the nursing skills. 4 In high-income countries, subclavian vein catheterization is underused despite its safety because of the emergence of less invasive new devices that can save central access. 5 On the other hand, in low-income and middle-income countries, the rate of complications of central catheters can be higher because of multiple insufficiencies, such as the unavailability of ultrasounds and WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ON THIS TOPIC ⇒ Catheter-related complications depend on the experience of the healthcare team and nursing skills.…”
