Study of the Impact of Frequency of Changing PICCline Dressings in Patients With Acute Leukemia

Summary

Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters have been widely used for many years for the administration of chemotherapy to patients with cancer. However, its use entails significant infectious complications and high risks of death.The hypothesis is that increasing the rate of PICCline dressing changes will reduce the occurrence of catheter-related infections.
