ABSTRACT: The peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs )have become among the most common technologies employed in the intravenous therapy of neonates as they allow safe long-term intravascular access, comfort, and ease of transition to home therapy that contributed to the increased survival of those newborns. Aim: Assess the nurses’ knowledge and practices about peripherally inserted central catheter at neonatal intensive care units Method: Descriptive research was conducted on 45 neonatal nurses working at neonatal intensive care units affiliated to Mansoura University Children Hospital (MUCH). Peripherally inserted central catheter insertion questionnaire sheet and observational checklistwas used to collect data. Results:Most studied nurses had poor knowledge and the minority had average knowledge about PICC line care for neonates. Also, more than half of nurses had competent score regarding PICC line insertion and care.Conclusion: There was variation regrading neonatal nurses' knowledge and practices regarding PICC line insertion and care.Recommendation: A regular educational program about PICC line care should be consistent for neonatal nurse

Background:hospital-acquired anemia (HAA) is common, with an incidence that ranges from nearly25% to 74%for the period ofhospitalization. Phlebotomy blood loss is one ofthe etiologies and predictors of HAA in acute coronary syndrome patients. Aim of this Study: identify the correlation between Phlebotomy blood loss and HAA among acute coronary syndrome patients. Material and Method: Descriptive exploratory research design was used to performthe research on one hundred and eighty patients in Cardiac Care Units at Mahallah Cardiac Center. Patients' demographic, health-relevant laboratory investigations data, drug-related data, and estimation of blood loss volume toolswere utilized in the data collection process. Results: Around two-fifth (37.8%) of the studied patients have HAA.There was a statistically significant correlation between HAA and gender & length of hospital stay(X2: 5.229, P: 0.029&X2: 21.832, P:˂0.001 respectively). On the otherhand, there was no significant correlation between HAA and phlebotomy blood loss& patient’s age (X2: 1.307, P: 0.520& X2: 1.7763, P: 0.620114 respectively). Conclusion: Around two fifths (37.8%) of acute coronary syndrome patients had HAA compared to 62.2% who were non-anemic. There was a statistically significant correlation between HAA and gender & length of hospital stay. In contrast, there was no significant correlation between HAA and phlebotomy blood loss and patient’s age among acute coronary syndrome patients atMahallah Cardiac Center.Recommendations: Future HAA prevention efforts are recommended to be effective if they include multimodal interventions that both decrease unnecessary phlebotomy blood loss through puncturing and bleeding.
