The developed algorithm contemplated the prediction of venous access for patients with indication for abdominal and other surgeries, premature infants stratified in gestational age higher and lower than 30 weeks, heart diseases with dependence or not on arterial channel and persistent neonatal hypoglycemia. According to the venous network, number of prescribed therapies, fasting, antibiotic therapy and vasoactive drugs, there is an initial indication for one type of catheter that may be followed by another according to need.
