The Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter came to be used in Brazil in the 1990s and has been widely used in neonatology and pediatrics, being increasingly chosen as a device for long-term venous therapy in neonatology. This procedure must be performed by trained and qualified professionals as it is a more sensitive technique in neonates. The present study was developed through an integrative review, with the general objective of knowing what the literature discusses about the use of peripherally inserted central catheters in neonatology. After a thorough analysis of the studied articles, they were segregated into established categories considering their objectives, and the categories generated were Complications caused using peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) and cost of using the catheter. Mispositioning was the most reported complication in the articles studied, followed by pain and bloodstream infections. The high cost of the procedure is a subject very evident in the articles studied, however, no articles were found that calculated this cost in Brazil, all of which used international values. No articles were found that contemplated the indication and contraindication for the use of the PICC.
