Neonatal Heelstick Blood Culture

Richard P. Knudson MD, Maj MC1 and Errol R. Alden MD, Lt Col MC1

1 Department of Pediatrics, Madigan Army Medical Center, Tacoma, Washington

A new micro-heelstick blood culture technique was evaluated in 40 neonates who were believed to be clinically septic. Heelstick cultures were positive in 11 and peripheral venous cultures were positive in eight. All eight venous cultures had positive heelstick cultures. Heelstick blood cultures seem to be at least as sensitive as venous cultures.
