AB  - There  are  a  variety  of  short-,  moderate-,  and  long-term  vascular  access  devices  available  (i.e.,  midline  catheters,  nontunneled  central  venous  catheters,  peripheral  inserted  central  catheters  [PICCs],  peripheral  intravenous  [IV]  catheters,  ports,  tunneled  central  venous  catheters,  and  ultrasound  [US]-guided  peripheral  IV  catheters).  PICC  lines  are  commonly  used  in  adults  and  children.1-3  PICC  lines  provide  options  that  routine  peripheral  IV  access  or  other  devices  do  not  provide  and  without  the  risks  associated  with  direct  puncture  of  central  vessels.4  PICC  lines  are  a  cost-effective  option  that  can  often  be  inserted  at  the  bedside.5,6  A  PICC  line  reduces  health  care  costs  by  permitting  the  patient  to  receive  care  as  an  outpatient.7,8
