The journey does not end with the insertion of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). It is just the beginning. To ensure their sustained functionality throughout the prescribed therapy, PICCs require meticulous aseptic care and maintenance. This not only extends their usability but also enables early identification of any potential complications that may arise. Do not overlook the crucial aspect of proper care and maintenance, as it is the key to maximizing the benefits and minimizing risks associated with PICCs.
Topics we cover:
• Thorough site assessment
• Flushing the PICC
• Proper dressing changes
• Blood sampling from the PICC
• Declotting the PICC

• Describe procedures for care of the PICC
