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.
The midline catheter tube is shorter than a PICC line. The midline tube ends in a vein below your armpit. Having a PICC or midline catheter may allow you to receive long-term intravenous (IV) medicine or treatments. PICC lines and midlines can stay in place longer than some other types of IV catheters. PICCs and midlines are used for IV therapy given for more than five days at a time. Having a PICC or midline may decrease the number of needle sticks that you need to get medicine, or have blood samples collected. PICC and midline catheters have one or more lumens.
