Abstract
This American research raises doubts over the recent inclination of in-patient oncology and haematology units to preferentially use peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICC) over cuffed and skin-tunnelled central venous catheters (CVC’s) for the administration of infusates. The authors suggest that the PICC line infection rates, vulnerability to thrombosis and premature dislodgement should merit precaution over their use.
