PICC line

Question #3

Are PICC lines considered central access lines and as an ACP can we only access them with the medications approved for CVAD administration and if they are in a pre-arrest or in cardiac arrest state (CVAD directive)?

Answer:

PICC stands for peripherally intserted central catheter. They may be treated like any other CVAD.
