I can not using certain meds based on creat level, but not placement itself. Did he give the basis for this? My Home Infusion Pharmacy is really, really conservative and they say they know of no reason for non-placement due to creatinine.

To: "list serve" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: Renal Criteria for PICC line insertion |
I need help from the group on an important issue. I need to know what criteria is in place where you practice on when you hold from using a patient's arm for PICC placement due to renal insuffiency. In addition if anyone has policies, references from journals, literature, etc. please list them as well. I have a nephologist that wants to restrict PICC placement based on creatinine but with our elderly patient population that would severly limit any PICC placement if we went with that number globally. Any help from my colleagues is needed and appreciated in advance
Thanks
Patty
