Vein Catheterization

catheterization of the umbilical vein provides a quick vascular access in neonates. It is a relatively easy procedure routinely performed in neonatal intensive care units. However, this procedure may come with lots of complications. We report a rare complication of bowel evisceration from the umbilicus following an attempt to catheterize the umbilical vein. This complication may be prevented by meticulous dissection and avoidance of probing of the umbilical vein during umbilical vein catheterization.

The Relationship

This study aims to demonstrate the relationship between the qualifications of neonatal intensive care units of hospitals (physical conditions, standard applications, employee qualifications and use of personal protective equipment) and work related causes and risks, employee related causes and risks when occupational accidents occur. Accordingly, a survey was prepared and was made among 105 nurses working in 3 public and 3 private hospital's neonatal intensive care units, in the January of 2010. The survey consists of questions about the qualifications of neonatal intensive care units, work related causes and risks, and employee related causes and risks. From the regression analysis conducted, it has been found that confirmed hypotheses in several studies in the literature were not significant in this study. The sub-dimensions in which relationships has been found show that the improvement of the physical environment in workplace, the improvement of the employee qualifications and standard applications can reduce the rate of occupational accidents. According to the results of this study management should take care of the organizational factors besides to improvement of the physical environment in workplace, the improvement of the employee qualifications and standard applications.
