Contact risk
management, your supervisor and the MD. If treatment is complete then the line
needs to be removed. Same issue as with a peripheral IV. Does the patient have a
reason to keep the PICC?

Subject: picc line removal
I have a quick question about
a patient who is refusing to have her picc line removed. It was inserted
at another facility, pt is being discharged w/ order to remove PICC. Pt
has a history of manipulating picc which possibly resulted in sepsis, and
self-abuse. Where do I stand on removing the PICC?
Any help is
welcome!
