Placing Central Lines: It’s Not as Scary as It Sounds

The clock is ticking the minute a critically ill patient arrives in your clinic and requires long-term venous access. The choice between a traditional central venous catheter (CVC) and a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is more than just a matter of location; it’s a decision that impacts everything you do for the patient. Tune in to this episode of the VetFolio Voice podcast to navigate the ins and outs of each option—including central line and PICC line differences and advantages, where they can be utilized best, what to monitor for and how to sample from a central line—so that you can make the most informed choice for these patients.
