States: A wire was then passed through the needle, the needle was removed, and the triple lumen was placed over the wire and the wire removed. This was sutured in place, all 3 lumens with a positive s/l "flash."
Is "flash" lingo for blood return? or is he saying something else. I've not typed these before.

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.
