What is a pick line?
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.

Yes, bacteriostatic sodium chloride can be used as a saline flush for PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) lines.

However, it is essential to follow the specific guidelines and recommendations provided by healthcare professionals or the manufacturer for proper use and administration.
