Study Summary
Percutaneously Inserted Central Catheters (PICCs) are special tubes that are inserted into blood vessels of premature babies (neonates) to give them nutrition and medications. Sometimes these tubes get infected and they need to be removed. Also, the babies need to be given medications to treat these infections (antibiotics). PICC infections in neonates are a serious problem and we need to find new ways of detecting infections early so that we can treat them promptly to avoid complications. The purpose of this study is to understand what causes tube infections in neonates and to develop a test to detect tube infections early to avoid complications.
Primary Outcome
We will study catheters from neonates with CLABSIs and those without. We will correlate the catheter biofilm microbiome with catheter tip cultures and the skin microbiome at the catheter entry site.
