Keep it Simple Specialist: One Securement Device, One PICC, Until the End of Need.

Sunday, October 15, 2023
1:00 PM – 1:20 PM PT
Location: Exhibitor Theater

Presented By 
Objectives:
1. Discuss the patient’s need to complete therapy with one PICC.
2. Identify patient and clinical issues related to inadequate securement.
3. Describe the outcomes in a retrospective study of securement options.

Many tests, medications, and procedures often follow a cancer diagnosis. Patients may have a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placed to receive chemotherapy, nutrition, or retrieve atraumatic blood samples. The tip of the PICC must remain securely in the target location until the end of the patient’s need for treatment. Accomplishing the goal of reaching the end of need with one vascular access device requires expert placement and reliable continuous securement.
