Peripheral venous catheters: an under-evaluated problem

International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, 2009

Infiltration of Peripheral Venous Catheters

Pediatrics In Review, 1990
The use of peripheral venous lines for infusion of fluids and medications are a consistent requirement in pediatric practice. Knowing the factors associated with increased incidence of infiltration will allow for the most judicious use and placement of peripheral venous lines, thus decreasing the need for repeat placements. The use of specially trained

Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheters and Central Venous Catheters in Burn Patients: A Comparative Review

Journal of Burn Care & Research, 2010
Central venous catheters (CVCs) are traditionally used for central venous access in the intensive care unit setting. Use of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) now often extends into the intensive care unit. The goal of this review is to compare the use and safety of PICCs vs CVCs in burn patients.
