Resumo

A discussion of complications related to the use of central venous catheters (CVCs), literature review, and a retrospective study were performed to see if blood collection from peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in the treatment of oncology patients was a feasible option. The results were used to evaluate and update the institution's policy.
