Interest of Peripheral Venous Catheter Insertion Using a Micro-guide in Neonatology

After antisepsis, the vein is punctured using a needle. Then the micro-guide is inserted to the first landmark, which indicates the passage of the micro-guide beyond the end of the needle. After the needle removed, the peripheral venous catheter is placed on the micro-guide. The guide is then removed, the peripheral venous catheter can be used.

After antisepsis, the catheter is introduced into the vein by a needle which is subsequently removed while the catheter remains in place.
