Peripherally-inserted central venous catheters

British Journal of Cardiac Nursing, 2011
Peripherally-inserted central venous catheters (PICCs) are increasingly being used for a variety of the indications that previously required traditional central vascular access devices. They are a safe and cost-effective alternative. However, they do have potentially important associated complications.

‘Vecafix’ dressings for peripheral venous catheters

Journal of Hospital Infection, 1996
We read with interest the audit on peripheral venous catheter (PVC) care by Nelson et al.,’ which recommended ‘Vecafix’ (Ohmeda, Helsingborg, Sweden) as the preferred dressing for catheter skin fixation. Though the paper highlighted common problems associated with the care of PVCs, we would like to comment on some of the practical difficulties that we ...

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
