Re: bubble study for PICC

[InfusionTx]

My only concern is how fast and how much pressure. I am not familiar enough with the procedure to say for sure. But the 10 ml syringe requirement would remain and not forcing the flow. So I would think that for "rapid" infusion the use of the PICC would NOT be appropriate.   Tony West, RN, CRNI Healix, Inc.

It would be about 10 cc of aggitated saline pushed quickly by hand, then flushed and heparanized?
