Hi guys, I have a new question for you: I have an order here to put a PICC in this patient with neurofibromatosis. I'm wondering how this will look like on ultrasound. Will I be able to isolate my vein, considering all those neorofibromas. I'm having difficulty placing peripheral lines as it is, because his skin is bumpy. I don't have to do this until Monday (today is Saturday) as we only put PICCs Mondays thru Fridays.
Thanks in advance!

AR,
You probably placed the PICC by now and found that it makes no difference isolating the vein. Just thought I would respond.

I have more problems with the securment issue ---depending on the stage of their dz and how it affects the insertion area.
