Abstract
Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters, also known as PICC lines, are very common procedures ordered for patients in the hospital who need to have long term IV access for medications or nutrients. At Mount Sinai Hospital (Sinai Health System), there is currently only one Interventional Radiology (IR) suite in our Medical Imaging department to accommodate all IR procedures. Therefore, the bedside PICC program was introduced to help alleviate the workload in the IR suite and to improve patient care, as patients do not have to wait for multiple days to get their PICC inserted.
