Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheters and Central Venous Catheters in Burn Patients: A Comparative Review

Abstract: Central venous catheters (CVCs) are traditionally used for central venous access in the intensive care unit setting. Use of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) now often extends into the intensive care unit. The goal of this review is to compare the use and safety of PICCs vs CVCs in burn patients. This institutional review board-approved cohort review included all burn patients at a single center who received one or more PICCs during a 2-year period. Primary outcome was number of days each line re… Show more

“…This can be explained by the absence of guidelines for the optimal time of retrieval of the PICC. The risk of having a DVT with longer dwelling time seems to be elevated notably after an average of 16 days [18][19][20].…”

“…In a large trial on CVADs in critically ill patients, CICCs were related to a relevant higher incidence of CRBSIs compared to PICCs [133] . Three recent papers in ICU patients reported a CRBSI rate equal to zero [15,129,134] . The hypothesis regarding a lower risk of CRBSI with PICCs than CICCs should be demonstrated by appropriately designed RCTs [135] .…”

“…The main part of PICC is to insert an infusional catheter into human superior vein cava through arm elbow, basilica, median and cephalic vein (Fearonce et al, 2010). Although PICC could set up a safe and effective intravenous infusional system for cancer patients who are exposed to long-term venous medication, several adverse factors and complications, e.g.…”
