Objective: To analyze the profile of peripherally inserted central catheters placement in adolescents
admitted to a University Hospital of Rio de Janeiro by trained nurses.
Method: Documentary, descriptive, retrospective and quantitative study conducted between
January 2007 and December 2015. The sample consisted of 68 medical records of adolescents.
Medical records of adolescents aged 12-18 years available from the medical archive
service and containing information about the process of placement of PICC catheters. The
medical records of the patients transferred to other health centers and whose catheters were
not removed in the institution were excluded.
Results: Of all the catheters inserted, 48 were placed in male adolescents diagnosed with
onco-hematological disease, and chemotherapy was the predominant therapeutic indication.
Conclusion: The present study contributed to improve the knowledge about the use of this
type of catheter, which will be useful in future studies and in professional training.
