Removing a PICC due to catheter related infection

We are struggling with the management of catheter related infections: whether to remove or not. There are guidelines from 2009 . . .

"Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infection: 2009 Update by the Infectious Diseases Society of America"
