Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters in General Medicine
Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 1997To report the success rate and complications associated with peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICCs) and to compare costs between PICCs and centrally inserted central catheters.We undertook a cohort study of the first 1,000 patients referred to the PICC service of a large tertiary-care, university-affiliated, community hospital. The data

Flow Characteristics of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters
Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 1997Clinical applications of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are limited by the relatively small lumina and long lengths of these devices. Quantitative analysis of the flow capabilities of a variety of PICCs was performed to aid in deciding which patients should have a PICC and in selecting the appropriate catheter.Sixteen different PICCs ...

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 1999
Background: Central venous access is crucial for the provision of adequate parenteral nutrition (PN). The type of central venous access device (CVAD) has evolved over the past 10 years. The most recent trend has been to use peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs). This development has occurred without controlled clinical trials. Methods: Over a

The Problem With Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters
JAMA, 2012CENTRAL VENOUS CATHETERS (CVCS) PROVIDE REliable venous access for tasks as diverse as delivery of medication, laboratory testing, and hemodynamic monitoring and occupy a fundamental role in the management of seriously ill patients. However, despite their many benefits, CVCs are not innocuous and are associated with important complications. Among these,

Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Placement
2016Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) have become an increasingly popular alternative to traditional percutaneous central venous lines. They require little or no sedation, can be placed at the bedside using minimal equipment, can be maintained at home, and, in the right patient population, offer lower rates of infection and other ...

Peripherally inserted central venous catheters.
The Nursing clinics of North America, 1994It has been estimated that 5 million central venous catheters are used in the United States each year. The medical market has been inundated with vascular access devices representing phenomenal advancement in catheter technology. These devices are not without serious risk, however, and they require constant vigilance and scrupulous care to prevent life-
