few days. A centrally inserted intravenous line is similar to a peripheral IV line‚ but lasts longer. It is difficult to insert these lines in newborn and premature infants and takes several attempts‚ thus making them more prone to infections‚ especially nosocomial infections which are very common in neonatal intensive care units. The most common infection is the central line associated blood stream infection (CLABSI). The risk is greater when the central intravenous line is in place for a longer

Absolute iron deficiency is when the stores of iron are depleted and bone marrow iron is absent‚ resulting in low serum ferritin and low transferrin saturation. Simple absolute iron deficiency usually results in iron deficiency anemia and can be resolved with iron supplementation. Functional iron deficiency results in anemia of chronic disease/inflammation
