Summary

This study will evaluate whether applying micro drops of cyanoacrylate glue to the participant's peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) insertion site prior to covering the area of PICC line with a transparent film dressing will make the PICC dressing last longer and prevent an occurrence of PICC line moving out of its original placement. The investigators aims to evaluate whether 1) using the cyanoacrylate glue will lengthen the time to first dressing change; and 2) participants in the experimental arm (glue used) will have fewer dressing changes per week compared to the control arm (standard care) during admission.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • All patients admitted to the 9 North intensive coronary care unit (ICCU) at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital greater than 35 weeks of corrected gestational age who have a PICC line placed by a NICU provider.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Any patient with a PICC line in situ from an outside hospital.
  • Any patient with a PICC line placed by an outside department, namely the interventional radiology department.
  • Any patient with a PICC line that is silicon material catheter, such as Vygon Epicutaneo-Cava catheter because of limited accuracy of measuring a movement of the catheter migration after 25 centimeter mark due to absence of a centimeter mark on the catheter.
