ohh lovely picc lines,! ive had multiple piccs!! hate them so much!! i loved my port!!! until i got septic 4 times!! now the doc refuses the give me any central line. im like a human pin cushion.
@EvgeniaDuh Mine wasn't painful except when it was getting taken out. My veins spasmed and tightened on the picc, so the doctor had to pull it in and out to loosen it.
I have CF too and may have to have my first PICC line soon! Thank you for posting this video! I was so scared to have it done, but seeing your smiling face made it not seem so bad! Thank you! =)

OMG....so many people in the room and talking....germs and more germs...contamination....OMG....BAD NURSE....BAD NURSE!!!! I hope pt didn't get an infection... so bad why would you post a voideo like this...maybe show what not to do....
OMG...just the nurse has a mask on....contamination....OMG...all those people in the room...and talking in the room....germs all over....I hope she did get an infrection...bad nurse....bad nurse.
They numbed me when I went to get put in. It wasn't so bad. it was gonna akward to have so many people in operating room though. It didn't hurt when I got it out too. I got mine in December of 08. Got it out before my birthday in January of 09. It ruin Christmas and New Years for me last year. I got a infection in my foot. That why I got a picc.
For those are you who say it hurt going in, the person performing on you must have been below par. I felt nothing when mine went in. Honey, you are super cute! How old are you? I'm 50 and disabled - any interest?
depends on the kind of picc. if you have a groshong(a type of picc), it has a black tip on the edge, and if you get the black tip, you know you have the whole line. some picc's you cut to fit, and then you must have measurements, in order to ensure you have the entire line. now, i've never seen a picc break in someone's arm, i have seen a nurse lose the guidewire, and the pt had to go to the cath lab to fish t out.
we use lidocaine intradermally when we insert it. when we pull them out, we don't mask. we just make sure we have the measurements, pull it out, and make sure we have an occlusive dressing over the site.
No they inject some local freezing at the site where it's inserted. I have one right now. All i fealt while they was inserting it was a verry little pressure from it. You feel nothing at all!!!! and in regards tp the description of this vid. Hey i'd rather be in the hospital to get one... instead being stuck in the hospital for 3 weeks like i was... That nurse is a tool too, she aint doin it right
Your Interventional radiology policy book may need updating. New techniques and understanding of ways of performing procedures are developed daily and are constantly evolving. Please feel free to continue to do it however you want to, I was just providing the most up to date information on the pulling of a picc line.
Very poor care... I'm a PICC nurse, and in my experiences home health nurses know exactly how to screw up anything related to a PICC. More home health nurses send me Catheter related blood infections!
You are wrong. I am a PICC nurse at Vanderbilt and a vascular access specialist. You do NOT pull a picc slow. This will cause a vein to spasm. You are correct that you always need to check the length after a picc has been pulled. I realize that someone has trained you in this manner, but you that is not the most up to date information. The only reason you might pull a picc slow is if you are meeting resistance and the vein has already spasmed.
This was the one of the worst examples of how to discontinue a picc. The slow pulling of the picc gives time for the vein to spasm and could have caused a stuck picc. To the person who posted this, thanks for sharing your experience. In the future, if you get a picc, just have them pull the picc quickly.
im in the hospital too right now. last time i was 5. that was before picc lines. i got my first picc 2 days ago. hurt like a bitch goin in. my pft's were at 70% and im usually in upper 90's. cf isn't the most fun thing in the world. for my version of airway clearance, check ot my riding videos :D beats the vest, but maybe not the ipv. ill be out either the 2nd or 9th :)

Why did you have so many PICC's? There's a newly approved device which secures PICC's subcutaneously. Search UA-cam for Securacath.
OMG she is hot!
Holy shit
ahh I got my picc removed today, and I took a video too. it was my second one in 4 days because the first one caused a blood clot.
@13knifethrower13 why bitch about it? you should be happy I said it, woman...

Cross contamination, and more cross contamination! Waoooooooooo!
That nurse seems sub-par. you never make your patient move around in the MIDDLE of anything. I would of been going ape-s*** on her!
what a @!#$ weirdo
i had it because they were feeding me with TPN due to give my intestines a rest since i have ulcerative colitis. while pregao of my 2nd one.

it's kind of like an Iv (intravenous) to give medicine...that can be used for a prolonged period of time

not to pull it out. we don't mask ourselves or pt's when we take them out. now we do mask to place them, and to change the dressings.
we use lidocaine intradermally when we insert it. when we pull them out, we don't mask. we just make sure we have the measurements, pull it out, and make sure we have an occlusive dressing over the site.
kinda cool eh there are no nerve endings in your veins which is why you didnt feel it
this was totally put up on my birthday and for that 5 stars
