Picc lines only take about an hour at most to place but you might have to wait a while for the doc ir picc line nurse depending on how many lines they need to place that day. They are wonderful things as long as they are maintained properly. Do not get it wet!!! Good luck. What are they prescribing for your wound dressing? I love silver myself. It works wonders.
@Nurse3: Â They had put a vacuum system on the wound but the area around the wound is old skin grafts and got very irritated by the plastic seal They called it very angry skin. Â So we've been cleaning it with saline and covering it with a non-stick pad and gauze. Â The plastic surgeon that debided the wound wants to use the vacuum again, but maybe space it with some plain dressing like we are doing now. Â When I see him Tuesday, I'll ask him about any other dressing. Â We had used Iodosorb for the months before the debridment.
