Host: Jennifer Caudle, DO Guest: Paolo Balsorano, MD Guest: Gregory J. Schears, MD While peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) and centrally inserted central catheters (CICCs) are commonly used to administer intravenous therapy, they can cause serious complications, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI). With these risks in mind, Drs. Gregory Schears and Paolo Balsorano share the latest research on DVT and CLABSI outcomes associated with the use of PICCs and CICCs.
