6 Ιουν 2023 · A PICC line requires careful care and monitoring for complications, including infection and blood clots. If you're considering a PICC line, discuss the benefits and risks with your doctor. A PICC line is one type of catheter used to access the large veins in your chest (central venous catheter).
18 Ιαν 2023 · Our findings suggest that patients who use midlines might experience fewer CRBSIs than those who use PICCs. However, the use of midline catheters was associated with greater risk of superficial vein thrombosis. These findings can help guide future cost-benefit analyses and direct comparative RCTs to …
18 Ιαν 2023 · Our findings suggest lower rates of bloodstream infection in patients who used midlines in comparison to PICC lines. However, the use of a midline catheter was associated with greater risk of SVT, albeit similar rates of overall localized thrombosis (SVT and DVT) and pulmonary embolism.
Introduction. Intravenous (IV) access is a major cornerstone in caring for a hos-pitalized patient. Among the myriad of options, peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) and midline catheters, are commonly used for patients who require prolonged IV access.
Catheter-related (CR) thrombosis is a significant complication of midline catheters (MCs) and peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs). Limited existing data for MCs suggest a favorable complication profile for MCs.
To our knowledge, this is the largest RCT comparing the safety and efficacy of a new generation MCs with PICCs. We found only 1 CRBSI, with no difference between the catheter groups. However, we observed an increase in all-cause catheter complications in the MC group when compared with the PICC control group, with an IRR of 2.37.
3 Ιουλ 2021 · To decrease the complications related to central catheters there has been an increasing utilization of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) and ultrasound-guided long peripheral intravenous catheters (i.e. midlines).
