Dear Nurse Orangutan:
If you are going to be ill, please be so kind as to give us 3 weeks advance notice, so that we may special order a customized PICC for you. :-)
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Your Health Care Provider

I'm 6'6", and my external measurment for a PICC is 76cm to the AC fossa. However, it may be fine for people with bodies anything like normal. Tim >>> "Leigh Ann Bowe-geddes" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2/23/06 >>> I use Phillip's calculation, but subtract 2.5 cm, as the article calculation had the insertion site at 2.5 cm below the bend of the arm. I have made a chart that I use, which lists the distance from the bend of the arm to SVC. I have attached it.
