To analyze the scientific evidence on the role of nurses in the handling of the peripherally inserted central venous catheter in a neonatal intensive care unit. The present study deals with a bibliographic review of the integrative literature review method, carried out between October 2020 and February 2021. The search was carried out, through the Virtual Health Library Platform - VHL, using the Literature databases Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS), Nursing Database (BDENF), and through the Electronic Health Library - Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO). Adhering to the keywords / keywords: "Nursing Care", "Neonatal Intensive Care Units", "Central Venous Catheterization", "Peripheral Catheterization", combined with the Boolean operator "AND". The main indications for using PICC are newborns who need intravenous therapy for more than six days, use of medications (mainly antibiotics, chemotherapy, vesicating and hyperosmolar solutions), prolonged parenteral nutrition or other long-term intravenous therapies . The use of PICC, one of which is an innovative technology needed in neonatalogy, is becoming a common procedure for nurses in high-risk neonatal units. For this, the handling of this device requires knowledge, dexterity and skill, prioritizing care with the maintenance of the catheter. In this context, the need for PICC to be the first choice route for intravenous therapy is highlighted, with a view to minimizing stress and pain to the neonate, reducing the number of venipunctures and establishing a long-term and easy-to-handle access. , recognizing potentialities regarding the use of the device.
