Picc versus PIC, sm
Subject: Picc versus PIC, sm
Actually they are two different things, according to my sources. The PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) is inserted to the vena cava, thus it is "central." The PIC (peripherally inserted catheter) is inserted locally, not to the vena cava. I actually had one of these, it was in my AC space. PICC is the term that is used unless they specify local. If anyone has any other info I would be interested to hear it. Thanks.

TPN - PIC line
Subject: TPN - PIC line
She currently is receiving TPN through a PIC line in the left basilic vein. This had been in place for about three years. Recently, it was changed from ___ due to fever and positive blood cultures. Since it was changed ___, no further fevers. She has been told that she could not get further PIC lines on the right arm.
This blank sounds like it has something about "wire" in it, may even be more than one word, "over to wire". Both blanks sound the same.

of questioning. I am finding that I am spending a lot of time looking up medications to see if it is a generic or brand name. I am looking up almost every medication. Is there away to start adding to autocorrect, or an expander, where eventually all the looking up will cease.
