I am wondering if there is evidence-based criteria out there regarding PICC insertions in the presence of an elevated INR. I always thought that a PICC was the preferred CVC in this situation, but am wondering, how high is too high? And is there eveidence to support this?
Lots of information on this site about this question. Please find by doing a search of the site. Lynn
