Yes, you can draw blood from a PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) using a vacutainer, but it's important to follow proper protocols. Ensure that the PICC line is patent and sterile, and use the appropriate size and type of vacutainer for the sample needed. Always follow institutional guidelines and check for any specific orders related to blood draws from central lines. Additionally, it's crucial to maintain aseptic technique to prevent infection.

Can a drug serum level be drawn from a PICC line?
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.
