15. Dress Catheter
13. Complete Catheter Insertion
1. Continue to advance the catheter. For cen-
tral placement, when the tip has advanced
to the shoulder, have the patient turn head
(chin on shoulder) toward the insertion side
to prevent possible cannulation into the
jugular vein.
Caution: The Poly RadPICC* catheter features a
reverse-taper catheter design. Placement of larger
catheters at or below antecubital fossa may result
in an increased incidence of phlebitis.
Placement of PICC above antecubital fossa is
recommended.
2. Position the arm at a 90° angle, maintaining
sterility. Complete catheter advancement into
the desired position (zero mark).
•
WARNING: This is not a right atrium catheter.
Avoid positioning the catheter tip in the right atrium.
Placement or migration of the catheter tip into the right atrium may
cause cardiac arrhythmia, myocardial erosion or cardiac tamponade.
The risk of these complications may be more likely in neonatal patients.
3. Stabilize the catheter position by applying light pressure to the vein dis-
tal to the insertion site. Slowly remove the stylet.
4. Place a finger over the catheter opening to minimize blood loss.
14. Aspirate and Flush
1. Attach primed extension set and/or saline-filled syringe.
2. Aspirate for adequate blood return and flush each lumen of the
catheter to ensure patency.
