摘要
Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are an increasingly used means of medium to long-term intravenous access. We have established an ultrasound (US) guided PICC insertion service at our institution that has largely replaced blind bedside insertions, One hundred and six PICCs were inserted in the upper arms of 89 patients, over a 6-month period with a 100% success rate. The technique for US guided vein puncture and guidewire insertion is described. Catheter related complications included infection (6 proven cases; 3.1 infections per 1000 catheter days); catheter blockage (7), breakage (8) and unintentional removal (5), Catheter blockage, breakage and partial unintentional removal are potentially remediable complications using guide-wire techniques under fluoroscopic guidance. The management of catheter related infection is discussed. We have encouraged early communication with our clinical colleagues in order to facilitate the management of such complications and minimize unnecessary catheter removal.
