BACKGROUND We investigated the efficacy of two commercially available, alcohol-based antiseptic solutions in decontaminating the insertion site of central lines. One solution contained the bispyridine octenidine dihydrochloride. PATIENTS AND METHODS Inpatients receiving either a central venous catheter (CVC) or a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) were alternately assigned to diffe...

BACKGROUND Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are commonly used in NICUs. Although they have many benefits, they also have many potential complications. Confirming catheter tip position is essential to decreasing complications, but the best method to achieve confirmation is unclear. OBJECTIVES Literature review for studies that address line position confirmation to assist health ...

BACKGROUND The peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is increasingly used in protracted intravenous therapy. The device has several advantages for family practice, but its use has been chiefly described in nursing and interventional radiology literature. We investigated the use of the PICC in a family practice teaching hospital. METHODS Forty PICCs were inserted from 1993 to 1995 in 2...

BACKGROUND Peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICCs) are now widely used for intermediate and long-term access in current-day health care, especially in the inpatient setting, where they are increasingly supplanting conventional central venous catheters (CVCs) placed percutaneously into the internal jugular, subclavian, or femoral veins. Data on the risk of PICC-related bloodstream...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Securing long-term venous access is an essential part of sick newborn care. The malposition of central line tip leads to several complications. There is a need for an easily available bedside investigating tool to diagnose these malpositions. This study was done to compare the effectiveness of real-time ultrasound (RTUS) with X-ray in identifying the peripherally inserte...

During the management of critically ill covid-19 patients obtaining an appropriate centrally inserted central catheter (CICC) can be a prime necessity. Traditionally, CICC is in supine position. However, may not possible some COVID-19 with severe hypoxia or sudden clinical deterioration who need urgent intubation and immediate proning. Therefore, pronated ARDS challenging. Recent studies limite...
