background: peripherally inserted central catheter (picc) is commonly used in nursing for patients with leukemia. the purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors of catheter-related infection (cri) in patients with leukemia and to provide some nursing strategies based on the results. methods: clinical data from 140 patients with leukemia between may 2014 and july 2016 in haiyang p...

Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICC) consist of an intravenous device widely used in neonates intensive care units, characterizing a procedure that is related to long repertoire complications can intensify neonatal morbidity and mortality. The study aims review analyze the factors associated with resulting from use peripherally inserted central catheter neonates. Method: This bibliogr...

Risk factors for peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)-associated infections in patients receiving chemotherapy and the preventive effect of a self-efficacy intervention program: randomized controlled trial

A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) provides long-term venous access through a peripheral vein in an upper extremity. trained physician should insert PICC, but any medical professional, such as specially nurse, can perform insertion. Appropriate PICC placement reduces complications, malposition and malfunction of the catheter, thrombosis, infections, overall performance is better. C...

Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) is an intravenous device whose distal end is located in the vena cava, becoming a central venous catheter; despite its benefits, can aggregate risk to the neonates. Aimed to characterize and analyze the PICC complications in neonates. An exploratory, descriptive, documentary and retrospective research with a quantitative approach; ethical principles...

We report a case of a 7-year-old child who received a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) for chemotherapy. He suffered from an unusual PICC fracture in vivo with pulmonary embolism after eight circles of chemotherapeutic agents administered. In this case report, we review the literatures for the underlying pathophysiology of this uncommon phenomenon. IV nurses should consider the pos...

Pericardial effusion with cardiac tamponade is a rare and life-threatening complication of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in a neonate. We report a 33-week preterm neonate who had sudden clinical deterioration at day seven of total parenteral nutrition regime via PICC. Recognition of pericardial effusion with cardiac tamponade in neonates with a PICC requires a high index of susp...

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 ...

A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line allows permanent vascular access and is widely used in pediatric oncology. In patients, who fully completed antitumor treatment, the PICC should be removed. some cases, however, procedure may complicated such a then called ‘hard-to-remove’ or ‘non-removable’. This article describes clinical case of successful non-surgical removal with develop...

Displacement of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) lines during contrast-enhanced computed tomography examinations is an underappreciated phenomenon. We report a case of iatrogenic PICC line displacement following the power injection of contrast during a computed tomography pulmonary angiogram. During the study, the PICC line was shown to move on 2 occasions, resulting in 2 nondiagno...
