Key result
Peripherally-inserted central catheter (PICC) implantation can cause cardiac tamponade in infants, requiring strict control of rehydration amount and speed to avoid myocardial injury.
Clinicians must be vigilant for cardiac tamponade following PICC implantation in infants and strictly control rehydration to prevent myocardial injury.
May warrant vigilance for tamponade after infant PICC; hypothesis-generating pending controlled data.
Educational Objectives• • Clinicians should strengthen the identification of complications after the peripherally-inserted central catheter(PICC) implantation.• • After the occurrence of tamponade, the amount and speed of rehydration should bestrictly controlled to avoid myocardial injury.
