Bleeding outcomes of a modified two-stage sheath–dilator technique for peripherally inserted central catheter placement in ICU patients: A retrospective cohort study
The modified two-stage technique appears to be a feasible alternative to conventional PICC placement and was associated with reduced insertion-related bleeding in ICU patients. The technique also resulted in fewer dressing changes within 24 h, suggesting more stable haemostasis and potential improvements in ICU care quality.
