Question for the group: I know that if you have a PICC line that has difference in measurement of 2cm either one way or the other, that there should be reverification of the tip location. If you had a PICC that had come out about 6 inches, sent the patient back to the hospital for verification, and the patient was sent home without verification of the tip and with the report of "it's fine", "it's ok to use it", would you use it? As far as midclavicular placement, does anyone have any statistics as to the incidence of thrombus formation? I know it's higher than SVC placement, but looking for some numbers. Thanks in advance!
