Objective: to assess the incidence of complications related to peripherally inserted central catheters in hospitalized adult patients with Covid-19 and to discuss the potential benefits of employing insertion technologies to prevent complications. Method: a descriptive, exploratory and cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2020 to December 2021 at a high-complexity hospital. The study included patients over 18 years old with a positive diagnosis for Covid-19 who made use of peripherally inserted central catheters for venous infusion. Data collection included sociodemographic and clinical information regarding catheter insertion and use. The analysis involved Chi-square and Fisher's Exact tests, with a significance level of 0.05. Results: a total of 123 inserted catheters were analyzed. The patients' mean age was 50 years old (SD=16.37), most of them male and in the acute phase of infection (59.3%). The following significant complications related to the insertion process were identified: catheter material (p=0.01); use of Sherlock (p=0.03); need for traction (p
