the list who are having
Thanks!

Subject: Why the duplicate messages day
after day
Can anyone
explain to me why I keep getting some messages sent to me repeatedly day after
day...the exact same message that was sent over a week ago, I keep getting a
copy of it nearly every day or 2. This is happening with many messages from
the list. It has nothing to do with filters as they are duplicate messages
being sent day after day with the exact same content. I realize their are 2
venous lists but I should not be getting messages from a week ago sent every
day or 2.
for
example...see the message below that was sent to me tonight...and repeatedly
over the last week. I don't think Lynn is sending the same message to me every
day...

You must be dealing with a patient that came to your service with a
PICC inserted elsewhere. All PICCs have a patient information booklet and/or
card inside the insertion kit. The questions are did the patient receive
this information and do they still have it when needed. More than likely the
answer to both of those is no. Most PICCs will have the word "PICC" and
possibly the French size on the catheter extension leg, but not always the
manufacturer. To be on the safe side, do not use for high pressure injection
until you know for sure. If you know where this was placed, you may contact
that facility to determine what brand of PICC is most often used in that
facility. Lynn

the manufacturer and type of PICC/CVC one has...I can't see anything on
the PICC that indicates the type of PICC/manufacturer and the patient
often has no idea. Do they get a card that describes their Vascular
Access device to caregivers/EMS, etc?

CTs and CVCs
MOST PICC lines cannot handle the pressure of a CT power
injector. These inject a viscous contrast agent at rates of
1-2cc/second and pressures as high as 300 psi. A 20G or larger PIV
in a large vein (AC or higher, preferably) is recommended by American
College of Radiology, who writes the guidelines for Rad
Techs.
