Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters: Guideline for Practice, 4th Edition

This updated fourth edition of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters: Guideline for Practice provides essential information for healthcare providers in the NICU, whether they are placing PICC lines or caring for infants who have a PICC. The authors draw on 281 referenced sources—including publications from 2022—to create evidence-based recommendations for PICC placement, complication prevention, PICC management, and incorporation of the latest technology. Neonatal care experts current and best practices are described in detail. This NANN guideline provides a foundation for development of nursing care and management protocols, policies, and procedures to guide facilities that place and manage PICCs in infants. The publication takes advantage of its digital format to provide 11 large illustrations to help providers visualize infants’ vascular anatomy, PICC access sites, and more.
