Risk of catheter-related bloodstream infection with peripherally inserted central venous catheters used in hospitalized patients.
BACKGROUND Peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICCs) are now widely used for intermediate and long-term access in current-day health care, especially in the inpatient setting, where they are increasingly supplanting conventional central venous catheters (CVCs) placed percutaneously into the internal jugular, subclavian, or femoral veins. Data on the risk of PICC-related bloodstream...

متن کاملUse of peripherally inserted central catheters as an alternative to central catheters in neurocritical care units.
BACKGROUND Patients in neurological critical care units often have lengthy stays that require extended vascular access and invasive hemodynamic monitoring. The traditional approach for these patients has relied heavily on central venous and pulmonary artery catheters. The aim of this study was to evaluate peripherally inserted central catheters as an alternative to central venous catheters in n...

PURPOSE To determine prospectively the feasibility, complications, and mid- and long-term advantages of peripheral insertion of central catheters in infants and children. MATERIALS AND METHODS During a 15-month period between March 1995 and June 1996, a total of 285 catheter placement attempts were made to peripherally insert central catheters in 183 pediatric patients (89 boys, 94 girls).

متن کاملPrediction tool for thrombi associated with peripherally inserted central catheters.
The upper extremity deep vein thrombosis rate is increasing at the same time that the rate for insertions of peripherally inserted central catheters is on the rise. There is little information on whether the established risk factors for lower extremity deep vein thromboses are effective to predict the occurrence of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis. The purpose of this study was to identify ...
