There was an article in the Nov/Dec 2004 Journal of the INS by Lisa Gorski and Lynn Czaplewski "Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters and Midline Catheters for the Home Care Nurse" that I have used as a reference for teaching basic PICC info to nurses in our agency that are not on our infusion team, but may see patients with PICCs for wound care, ostomy care, etc. It has really solid basic info on indications, flow rates, maintenance, complications, pt. education, and documentation. I think much of the info could be easily adapted to EMTs. Good luck with the presentation
