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.

Examination of her ear shows a large clot in her external auditory canal. I did flush her ear there. I removed a large clot that was __________ s/l small and (swollen-out-) bleeding from the spots where it adhered to the canal wall.


It sounds like small but can't be because he calls it a large clot.
