blood products transfusion thorough PICC line

Featured Replies

hello everyone

I want to ask about giving blood products ( Packed RBCs, Platelets and FFP) transfusion thorough PICC line.

Any contraindications, any studies. anyone is practicing this.

Many times in extreme preterm, we have only picc line and no other lines.

Waiting for your valuable opinions

 

Thanks

only if you're ok with loosing the line. If your asking this question then probably you don't have a PIV meaning the baby has difficult access. Then you will probably waste your only access. catch 22
