I have been appointed the lucky person to revise our PICC Line policy.
Would anyone be interested in giving me any extra info on how it's done in their hospital??????
I have been looking online also.

Thanks,
LB

I was under the impression that PICC Lines had the same care guidelines. I thought the guidelines were a national standard. Exactly what information are you looking for? Drawing from a PICC? Amount of waste? When to insert one? Maintenance? Care? Cap changes? Dressing changes? I am not sure what you are looking for...
