I am so glad you said "written" consents. I have heard
of some risk managers that are now saying that PICC insertion fails
under the general consent signed when the patient entered the
hospital. I have never worked in a hospital where this was the case
though and would feel better about obtaining a written consent for a
PICC or any other CVC insertion. Are they doing the same thing with
the other CVCs inserted by physicians? If not, I would have to ask why
the difference? Lynn
