peripherally inserted central catheter
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.
PICC, or PICC line, is the medical abbreviation for peripherally inserted central catheter.
A Hickman line is a type of central line. A central line is any catheter threaded into the central vasculature. Some are inserted near the central vasculature, like Hickman lines... some are peripherally inserted (e.g., through an arm vein) and threaded to the central vasculature (PICC lines).
Catheters will generally function equally well for pressure measurement and fluid infusion if the tip is situated in any major vein, above or below the heart.
La linea CVC is an Italian equivalent of the English phrase "PICC line." The acronoyms respectively stand for il catetere venoso centrale ad inserzione ("the central venous catheter for insertion") and "peripherally inserted central catheter." The pronunciation will be "la LEE-nya tchee vee tchee" for the acronym and "eel KA-tey-TEH-rey vey-NO-zo tchen-TRA-ley a-EEN-ser-TSYO-ney" in Italian.
start peripheral ivs. inspect ivs already in patients to make sure the IV is still good. Change IV dressings, IV tubings. Assess patients for if they need a central line instead of a peripheral IV. insert PICC lines (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters).
I think you mean PICC line. A PICC line is, by definition and per its acronym, a peripherally inserted central catheter. It is long, slender, small, flexible tube that is inserted into a peripheral vein, typically in the upper arm, and advanced until the catheter tip terminates in a large vein in the chest near the heart to obtain intravenous access. It is similar to other central lines as it terminates into a large vessel near the heart. However, unlike other central lines, its point of entry is from the periphery of the body � the extremities. And typically the upper arm is the area of choice.
Centrally acting analgesics work in the central nervous system to block pain signals, while peripherally acting analgesics work at the site of pain to reduce inflammation and block pain signals. Central analgesics include opioids like morphine, while peripheral analgesics include NSAIDs like ibuprofen.

Subcutaneous fat is adipose tissue that lies superficial and close to the skin whereas visceral fat is adipose tissue that lies around the central organs (the viscera). Generally, visceral fat is considered a lot more harmful to health than subcutaneous fat as it affects the viscera and causes conditions such as diabetes mellitus and also heart disease.
