Furthermore, we also evaluated PICC use in children completing therapy after dis...
متن کاملPediatric peripherally inserted central catheters: complication rates related to catheter tip location.
OBJECTIVE To compare complication rates between central venous catheter tip location and noncentral tip location after peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement in children. METHODS Between 1994 and 1998, data from all children who underwent PICC placement were analyzed. Patient demographics, catheter characteristics, catheter duration, infusate composition, and catheter complic...
متن کاملComparison of three peripherally-inserted central catheters: pilot study.
