troughits called a trough
The word you''re looking for is... 'trough'. (pronounced 'tr-off'
Clarify the question first. Draw a diagram... What is meant by "distance from crest to trough" ? If you see that it should say "diagonal distance" the diagram then makes sense and its solution becomes obvious. - RogerC
From crest to crest, trough to trough or rest position to rest position
The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two identical parts of a wave in successive periods (crest to crest, trough to trough, etc.).
Why not use the PICC for the blood draw?
yes
peak then trough
CBC and ESR can be run off of a EDTA tube. CMP and VANC may require two separate tubes depending on hospital policy. CMP is usually run off of a green top (Lithium Heparin) tube and I'm not sure on the VANC tube.

Yes, provided that you "pause" the infusion of heparin prior to taking your lab sample. Also, prior to drawing back blood from the PICC line infuse 10cc of Normal Saline and then draw off a waste of 10cc of blood. It is also suggested that you draw off another 10cc of waste blood prior to drawing the Hep APPT. Then draw your sample for the Hep APPT. There should not be any problems with the sample. Remember to do a final flush of the PICC line with 2 X 10cc of Normal Saline. Guy L Yes, provided that you "pause" the infusion of heparin prior to taking your lab sample.

PICC Line requires heparinization how often
There is not a PICC line with an inflated balloon for placement.
PICC lines can stay in up to 12 months
Red top, no gel.
A peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) can be used for blood sampling. The FDA has approved certain types of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC line) for power injections.
