Abstract
Highlights
TA for stabilization and securement of PICCs reduced catheter migration. This solution to catheter migration was safe, inexpensive, and highly effective. TA reduced migration rates from 19.35% to 1.4% in more than 411 inpatients. There was no evidence of phlebitis, cellulitis, or microbial contamination. There also was no evidence of central line infections.
