There is anectodal evidence that phenytoin should not be given via PICCs as it may enhance the risk for catheter occlusion and the same may be true for etoposide (not the typical NICU drug, I know...). Additionally very high concentrations of IV dextrose (40%) should be avoided for the ssame reason.
