Hi,
I am looking for statistics on how many PICC lines are placed in Hospitals and Vascular Access Centers in the US. I am also looking for stats on Central Chest Lines. Any thoughts?
I know PICC line placement has been a growth industry and I am looking for articles regarding this.
carealine.com
If you do a search on this site "piccs per bed" it will pull up several old posts with many responses. There is one that is titlel "piccs per liscenced bed" way down into the post there are two formulas to figure out your useage and where it stands in the average.
Hope this helps, Gina Ward R.N.
