Also dye studies to check for thrombosis or fibrin sheath. I had a patient
with similar complaints that had a fibrin sheath that was redirecting his
TPN to his subclavian and jugular. Let us know her outcome, please.

HELP!! I have a patient with a PICC that has been receiving TPN for
about 6 weeks but is experiencing some weird things.
Complaint # 1-- States she hears and feels a definite popping sound
in
her chest when she flushes the line with NS.
Complaint#2-- States she feels like her throat gets swollen (like she
has a cold) for about 2 hours after flushing the PICC.
Any immediate help would be greatly appreciated.
