That is JUST what I was thinking. We are not allowed to push contrast in a foot IV or an EJ/IJ. Extravasation in those ares is BIG BAD NEWS!!!

Yes Betsy, but I can show you a pretty impressive radiograph of a large contrast extravasation in the neck from EJ PIV.

Have you approached the physicians for them to place an 18g or 20g Angiocath in the EJ?
We don't have enough staff or time to place one time usage PICC's.

I would agree that a Power PICC would be a better choice than---what is the other choice?
I would recommend keeping the PICC line though, not pulling it after the CT scan.
