PICC & Central Line Management
Home – PICC & Central Line Management
Service Overview
Management of PICC and central lines involves specialized care to ensure proper functioning and to prevent complications. These devices provide direct access to the major veins of the body and are inserted to administer long-term treatment and nutrition, to administer certain medications, to avoid repetitive sticking to the skin, and to ensure proper flow of fluids and nutritional support. By having a central line, appropriate management includes proper monitoring, dressing and care, sterile procedure, flushing of the device, and appropriate prevention of infection. Our trained staff deliver patient-centered care while adhering to clinical safety protocols at the TamCare Infusion Center to maximize patient outcomes.

Why It Matters
Management of the patient’s PICC/central line is of the utmost importance to prevent complications and to continue to deliver appropriate care and treatment to the patient. PICC and central lines are external devices that allow access into the major veins close to the heart, and are needed for administration of parenteral therapy that cannot be administered through a peripheral vein over a long period of time. If not managed correctly, patients are at risk of infection, thrombosis, and malfunction of the catheter. Regular assessment and correct manipulation with sterile equipment will help to prevent complications and keep the patient as comfortable as possible.
