PICC Line Clarification

[JMalia1]

Hi,

We are working to move to an EHR and have gotten stuck on a PICC line issue. Within the program is wants us to document the picc line ports as distal proximal etc. Is a PICC actually setup like this? I know TLCs are but I thought PICC are cut to length thus cutting a tip or other port? Do meds given through different ports on a picc go through two catheters within the PICC or do they mix? Any help would be great, thanks.

Hi In my Opinion Now a small advice to I establish attractive. At what time a patient is shower and the IV row has been detached as extended as the patient is not too big you can cut out the finger of a glove departure the thumb whole and glide this over the IV place and it will job to remain the IV place dehydrated.
