Heparin may be used to flush the line to prevent blood clots. Medicine will be placed at the insertion site (the place where it goes into your skin). The medicine helps prevent an infection at the site. The catheter will be secured to your skin with a dressing. The dressing holds it ...
Aims: To audit the use and outcomes of using PICC lines in hemato-oncological patients. Objectives: To study the demographics of patients: ?studying the use of PICC line in hemato-oncological patients;studying the rate of complications in PICC line;studying the cause of early removal of PICC ...
a, b HER2 amplification levels were assessed by dPCR in a archival tissues (primary vs metastatic lesions, from left to right), and b serial blood drawings (baseline vs progression). Threshold amplification values in tissues (blue line) and blood (red) are shown. c Box plot showing patient...
PICC Line A PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) line goes into your arm and runs all the way to a large vein near your heart. The other end may have one or two tubes, called lumens, that stick out of your arm just above your elbow. That’s where the medicine goes. When yo...
