Abstract
It is established that radiation exposure carries a risk for children. The best approach is to use the As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principle for medical procedures. Peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) placements expose children to a variable amount of radiation, and there is a lack of literature on the influence that experience has in radiation exposure. The purpose of this study was to try and determine if procedural experience plays a part in reducing fluoroscopy time (FT) during PICC placements.
