Overview
Catheter flush, Lumens, Optimal access and Tip

This document identifies factors associated with PICC catheter occlusion as derived from HMS data, in order to help hospital staff prevent such occlusions. The tool was developed using rigorous statistical methods after reviewing over 1,700 cases of occlusion from HMS.

Less Lumens, Less Risk

Overview
This document describes ongoing work at the University of Michigan aimed at increasing the use of single-lumen PICCs while decreasing the use of multi-lumen devices. Evidence-based criteria (produced in conjunction with pharmacy, vascular access and medicine) for multi-lumen PICC use are identified.

Overview
A series of recommendations from the Italian Group, GAVECELT, related to how to select a vascular access device, insert PICCs and prevent complications. Materials provided courtesy of Dr. Antonio LaGreca, a member of this group. Dr. LaGreca's blog post where he discusses these resources can be read here.

Overview
A summary of appropriate and inappropriate vascular access applications follows and is condensed in Table 1 Vascular Access Dashboard. For more detailed information on the results of MAGIC refer to the complete publication (Chopra et al. 2015)

Be WISE: A Tool To Assess Factors Behind Hospital PICC Use

Picture
Download File
Overview
The WISE tool was designed to assess reasons for PICC placement in your hospital. Although primarily aimed at understanding factors driving short-term PICC use (PICCs placed less than 5 days), WISE is a "change package" that can be used to evaluate PICCs in a medical unit, provider service or facility. The guide is written as a "how-to" manual, outlining a method to track, evaluate and design interventions to improve the appropriateness of PICC use  in your hospital.

How much could my hospital save by increasing single lumen PICC use?

Overview
Download the file and follow the directions to estimate savings. The table will provide complication and maintenance costs based on the volume of PICCs placed in your hospital and the percentage of single lumen vs. multi-lumen devices.
​
​Bottom line: The more you use single lumen PICCs, the more the savings from CLABSI, VTE and maintenance-related costs. It is that simple.
