Pediatric Vascular

Only medical staff with specialized training should attempt to place or care for a pediatric vascular catheter. Effective catheter care is dependent on proper hand hygiene before placing or accessing the needle site or access port.

Always sterilize hands using the agreed upon sterilization technique practiced in your medical facility or prescribed by a doctor, or use of Antiseptic Non-Touch Technique. Catheter lines and the percutaneous access site should be inspected daily for signs of movement and/or irritation—which can be a precursor to infection.

Pediatric PICC lines typically hold 3-5 mls. Adult PICCs typically hold 5 ml.

As CVCs and PICCs fall under the category of controlled medical devices, only licensed physicians or medical facility managers may order them.
