Summary : The PICCline has improved the management of patients requiring intravenous therapy of “average” duration. It represents a safe and effective alternative to conventional central venous catheters with a technical success close to 100 %. This is a central venous line inserted peripherally, very well tolerated by patients with complications which are mainly occlusion, infection and venous thrombosis of the catheter. These complications are common to other central venous access devices and can be prevented by a better understanding of the material and its use. |
