Can anyone tell me the name of the article and publication with pictures that showed power flushing and postioning to flip the PICC tip when malpositioned
Don't recall any specific article. Patient is sitting up in bed, head elevated to 90 degrees if they can tolerate it. Flush with a large syringe - 20 mL at least.
"Simultaneous Rapid Saline Flush to Correct Catheter Malposition: A Clinical Overview". Authored by Elizabeth Natividad and Todd Rowe. Journal of the Association for Vascular Access, 2015, Vol 20, No3, 159-166.
We keep this article nearby at all times because it works!
