The use of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is occasionally complicated by intravascular fracture and central embolization of the catheter fragment. We present a patient in whom a PICC fragment was retrieved from the pulmonary artery 11 years after embolization following its incidental detection. Despite a history of IV drug abuse and mitral regurgitation, this patient remained a...
BACKGROUND According to the 2011 Infusion Nursing Standards of Practice, the low pH of intravenous vancomycin requires that it be administered through a central line. However, a careful review of the literature and a retrospective analysis of the experience at New York Hospital Queens (NYHQ) did not support the position of the Standards. PURPOSE A prospective, controlled, randomized clinical ...
UNLABELLED AIM. In this study we presented our experience with peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) in patients with hematological malignancies. METHODS In the period from 2009 to 2012, a total of 105 PICCs were inserted in 90 patients. Patients with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma treated with DA-EPOCH comprised almost 40% of the cohort. RESULTS The total PICC in-dwell time was 14781 ...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate ECG-aided tip localization of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in the patients with cancer. METHODS Between September and December 2014, 170 patients undergoing PICC were divided into observation group and control group (each group with 85 patients). In observation group, patients received ECG-aided tip localization of PICC. In control group, PICC was perfor...
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...
Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) has been widely used to treat cancer patients. It is unknown whether or not it can be applied safely during radiotherapy. The study aimed to investigate the direct effects of gamma radiation on physical properties of PICC. A total of 60 catheters were included in this study. Thirty PICCs were exposed to a radiation field, and another 30 PICCs receiv...
Objective: This study investigated the effect of heparinized saline flushed catheter on preventing catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) among cancer patients received peripherally inserted central (PICC) for chemotherapy. Background: CRT is a common and serious complication when using PICC, which one most commonly used vascular access devices drug infusion, intravenous nutrition, Methods: prospect...
IMPORTANCE Postdischarge treatment of acute osteomyelitis in children requires weeks of antibiotic therapy, which can be administered orally or intravenously via a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). The catheters carry a risk for serious complications, but limited evidence exists on the effectiveness of oral therapy. OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness and adverse outcomes of p...
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...
Infection is the leading complication associated with intravascular devices, and these infections develop when a catheter becomes colonized by microorganisms. To combat this issue, medical device manufacturers seek to provide healthcare facilities with antimicrobial medical devices to prevent or reduce the colonization. In order to adequately evaluate these devices, an in vivo model is required...
