Picc Course


A PICC Course is a training program for medical professionals who want to learn how to place Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) lines in their patients. PICC lines are useful and often necessary for administering intravenous (IV) medications and fluids to patients who are unable to receive them through standard IV access. The goal of a PICC Course is to provide the student with the knowledge and skills they need to safely and effectively place and manage PICC devices. PICC Courses typically consist of both in-person education and practical experience. During in-person education, the student will learn about the anatomy of the vascular system and the complications associated with PICC placement. They will learn about the different types of PICC lines, and how to properly place and maintain them. They will also learn about the different nursing interventions available for the care of the PICC device, such as medication administration and flushing techniques. In the practical portion of a PICC Course, the student will practice their new skills under the guidance of an experienced PICC nurse or educator. This includes placing PICC lines on practice arms, as well as observing and assisting in the placement of PICC lines on real patients. These clinical experiences ensure that the student has the necessary knowledge and skill to safely and effectively place and manage PICC devices. Overall, a PICC Course can be an invaluable training experience for any healthcare professional looking to enhance their skills with inserting and managing PICC lines. It provides necessary education on the anatomy and complications of PICC placement and practical experiences in the clinical setting. With a successful completion of the course, the healthcare professional will be fully prepared to manage and care for their patients with PICC devices.
