Abstract

The use of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICCs) in pediatric patients is not new. Since many years, these catheters have been used to deliver intravenous therapy, especially when required for prolonged periods. Their use began first in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU) and in oncological wards but, in the recent years, with the introduction of new materials and techniques, PICCs have been widely adopted as first-option central venous access for both hospitalized children and for children on homecare therapy.
