Good Afternoon: Can anyone tell me where I can get a document that lists the contraindications for PICC lines. I need an official standard of care for PICC inserters or best practice guidelines. Thanks Rod

All PICC insertion education courses should include this information. You should also check textbooks such as Infusion Nursing- An Evidence-Based Practice from INS or Plumer's Principles and Practices of IV Therapy. But this information is not included in a standard of practice document. Lynn
