peripherally inserted central catheter
A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC or PIC line), less commonly called a percutaneous indwelling central catheter, is a form of intravenous access that can be used for a prolonged period of time (e.g. for long chemotherapy regimens, extended antibiotic therapy, or total parenteral nutrition).
First described in 1975, it is an alternative to central venous catheters such as subclavian lines, internal jugular lines or femoral lines, which have higher rates of infection—subclavian and jugular line placements may result in pneumothorax (air in the pleural space of lung), while PICC lines have no such issue because of the method of placement.
==Medical uses==
In those who are very unwell PICC lines are appropriate when more than two weeks of treatment is needed.
