If properly cared for, a PICC line can stay in for weeks to months. We will place gauze and a clear bandage, which must remain dry at all times while the PICC line is in place. Approximately two days after we place the PICC line, a nurse at the hospital or a home-care nurse will change the bandage. After this, it is OK to shower as long as the PICC line is covered with a water-resistant bandage. We will teach you how to make a water-resistant bandage.
You may need IV antibiotics (germ-killing medicine) or chemotherapy (medicine to treat cancer) for weeks or months. Total parenteral nutrition (liquid food) and IV liquid may also be given through a PICC line. With a PICC line or a midline, you can be treated in a hospital, clinic, or in your own home.
