echoes-
PICC lines are very safe. A lot of the time they are placed under ultrasound guidance and are typically not more painful than putting in a regular IV. Like others have mentioned we use them when a person is going to need prolonged IV access. They have a lower complication rate, and are less invasive than central access, which is the last step if all else fails. Let us know if you have any other questions. Good luck.
