Ports of PICC
Do you know that, PICC lines have no distal or proximal port. They run side by side. This is because, PICC line needs to be trimmed from top depending on length per patient height. As PICC lines need to be trimmed, it is a good practice to document in chart the length of PICC at removal with length at insertion time. Obviously, they should be same. Length of PICC on removal ______ cm = Length of PICC on insertion ______ cm
