Background: We have previously showed how implementing the Michigan Appropriateness Guide for Intravenous Catheters (MAGIC) to inform peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) use can lead to more appropriate device use. In this analysis, we assessed the association between appropriateness and PICC-related complications. We hypothesized that improved PICC appropriateness is associated with reduced major PICC complications […]

Background: Midlines are peripheral vascular devices inserted in the veins of the upper extremity with the tip located at or below the axillary vein. Greater appreciation of complications associated with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) and the diffusion of catheter appropriateness criteria has led to expanded use of these devices. However, single center studies comparing […]

Background: Patients with cancer require reliable venous access for therapy. Although peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) and implanted ports are often used to meet infusion needs, risk of complications between these devices is unknown. We did a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), exit-site complications and central line-associated […]

Background: Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is a morbid and potentially lethal complication. National policies related to CLABSI mandate public reporting of this adverse event, with hospitals receiving penalties based on their CLABSI rates. Contemporary data suggest that peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) placed outside critical care settings are a large contributor to hospital CLABSI […]

Background: Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are one of the most widely used means for long term vascular access. When compared to traditional central venous catheters (CVCs), PICCs offer several advantages including safer insertion in the arm, cost-effectiveness, and easier self-care for patients outside the hospital. Despite these advantages, numerous studies have found complications associated […]
