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.
0. The main differences between a PICC line and a midline are the length of the lines and the duration the catheters can stay in the vein (referred to as dwell time). A midline is three to eight inches long and the tip lies in the upper arm ending before the shoulder. PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) is also inserted in the upper arm but its tip goes past the shoulder and stops just outside the heart. The dwell time for a PICC is longer than the dwell time for a midline.
