Risk Factors for Difficulty and Complications Associated with Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Insertion

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: For peripherally inserted central catheter insertion, younger age, female sex, deeper and smaller vessels, and less operator experience were associated with procedural difficulty. Younger age, low platelet counts, and deeper vessels were associated with procedural complications. A smaller vessel diameter was associated with the need for venography. These factors should be considered when selecting the operator, insertion site, method, and operation site to ensure a reliable procedure.
