Life of a Longline Catheters – Safe, Structured Removal

Our ‘Life of a Longline Catheter’ series is designed for neonatal and paediatric clinicians who want evidence-based guidance on every stage of longline management, from insertion and care to safe removal and sustainability, helping you deliver safer, smarter, and greener healthcare.

Safe removal matters as much as insertion.

The final step in longline management is critical. Improper removal can lead to air embolism, bleeding, or infection - risks that fragile neonates cannot afford.

✅ Follow BAPM and NANN protocols for risk-free removal
✅ Document every step for audit compliance and quality improvement
✅ Escalate immediately if resistance is encountered to prevent catheter fracture

🚼 Transforming NICU Care: LISA vs. Traditional Surfactant Delivery

Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) continues to be a critical concern for preterm infants, and the method of surfactant administration can make all the difference. As awareness grows around the risks of ventilation-induced lung injury, the shift towards less invasive techniques is gaining momentum.

🌟 Discover the latest insights in our new Campus Vygon article, where we break down how Less Invasive Surfactant Administration (LISA) measures up against established methods like INSURE and mechanical ventilation. Backed by robust evidence from RCTs, meta-analyses, and real-world practice, this article is a must-read for anyone committed to advancing neonatal care.

Are you looking to update your protocols, empower your team, or improve patient outcomes? Get a clear, evidence-based perspective on the future of respiratory care in the NICU.

🚩How do we improve care and outcomes for our most vulnerable patients?

In the UK, an estimated half a million people are considered immunosuppressed or high-risk. These patients are at higher risk for severe outcomes should an infection occur.

So how do we help reduce these risks for better patient care and outcomes?

💡Read the latest in thought-leadership from Campus Vygon:
‘Vascular Access considerations in immunosuppressed or high-risk patients’

As we look at ways in which vascular access practice can be improved.
🔴Reduce infection risk.
🔴Improve practice & care.
🔴Increase positive patient outcomes.

Positive pressure is clinically proven to prevent reflux related occlusions.
Studies show it reduces blood reflux by nearly 80% (22% vs. 99%) during needle withdrawal.

This aligns with current studies recommending positive pressure as the most effective strategy for preventing port occlusion.
Fewer occlusions ➜ fewer interventions ➜ better outcomes.

Life of a Longline Catheter - Care & Maintenance: Protecting What Matters

Our ‘Life of a Longline Catheter’ series is designed for neonatal and paediatric clinicians who want evidence-based guidance on every stage of longline management, from insertion and care to safe removal and sustainability, helping you deliver safer, smarter, and greener healthcare.

Best practice for caring for a longline catheter.

Insertion is only the first step. The next challenge is to keep the line safe and functional for fragile neonates. Every interaction matters, because meticulous care prevents complications that can change outcomes.

✅ Structured care bundles can reduce CLABSI by up to 70%
✅ Transparent dressings and aseptic technique safeguard against infection
✅ Daily site checks and securement reduce dislodgement risk

Consistent, evidence-based care is essential for patient safety and clinical excellence.
