| PICC and Midline Catheters: Care and Complications |
Description |
| Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) and midline catheters (MLC) are frequently seen in clinical use today. Although these catheters are inserted into peripheral veins, nursing care of the patient, routine catheter management and complication prevention differs greatly from short peripheral catheters. PICCs and MLCs look very similar, but their tip locations are quite different. |
This course provides the information you need to correctly assess the type of catheter your patient has, safely infuse all medications and fluids through each catheter, perform routine care and assess and manage complications. |
