I am curious to know how other users of Sapiens do their pre-insertion measurment. I have always measured to the right clavicular head, down to the 3rd intercostal space, but I'm having difficulty deciding on a new standard for measuring. Any suggestions?

Why would you measure differently when you're using Sapiens?

My measurement technique that I once thought was the standard to place the picc tip deep in the distal SVC/cava-atrial junction, seems to be too deep more often than not for some reason.
Check the PICC instructions for use from Bard. I just read it last week. Lynn
