Pediatric PICC tip placement

What is the proper PICC tip placement for pediatric patients.

The lower portion of the SVC,

The lower portion of the SVC, near the cavoatrial junction. See the INS standards of practice. When there is an age-based difference in the standard, that is called out in each standard or practice criteria. The difference for neonates and pediatrics might be the insertion site but not the tip location. Lynn
