Re: Jasmine/what is Picc line

[Guest guest]

A picc line is a long catheter (rubbery tube thing) that is placed in the arm

in a vein. Then is it pushed until the tip of it sit near the heart. the other

end hangs out of the arm and meds can be delivered through it. It's nice

because the person doesn't " blow " veins and have to be stuck repeatedly. For a

better description go to http://groups.msn.com/cysticfibrosis2chat you can also
