CN46 Catheter-related venous thrombosis: Experience with blue advance peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in a day hospital during the pandemic

Abstract

The PICC in our Day Hospital (DH) has become the central line of choice for the therapeutic management of oncological and hematological patients when the duration does not exceed 6 months. The impact of COVID-19 in these patients led to an increase in risk factors for the occurrence of venous thrombosis (VT) and catheter-related venous thrombosis (CRVT), forcing admission-like immobility, intensification of supportive treatment with granulocyte colony growth factors (G-CSF) and a higher number of PICC insertions in metastatic patients.
