What are the two major divisions of the central nervous system?
Central & Peripheral Edit: I don't think the last person read the entire question. Central (CNS) and Peripheral (PNS) are the two major divisions of the nervous system but the question is asking specifically about the central. Two major division of the central nervous system (structurally) are White matter and Gray matter.
What is the medical abbreviation meaning peripheral inserted central catheter?
PICC, or PICC line, is the medical abbreviation for peripherally inserted central catheter.
What does the medical abbreviation picc mean?
peripherally inserted central catheter
Can you infuse TPN through pulmonary artery catheter?
NO!! A pulmonary artery catheter is a diagnostic tool that is inserted into the right side of the heart. TPN is typically infused through a central venous catheter or a central line due to the thrombosis this concentrated fluid typically causes.
In what situations does a picc line have to be used?
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.
How do you use a catheter?
A catheter is a term used for any thin tube inserted into the body - not just a urinary 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).

a hickman catheter is a type of central line.

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.
Idea tip location for peripherally inserted central catheter is?
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.
