.@sarahkliff @Medcastaway It's wrong.No central line should be put into heart.Should stop in SVC-that's why called a central VENOUS catheter

@VicPain1 In the recent
@emcrit podcast by@DocJohnHinds he said aprox. 10% of their lines sat in the heart with no apparent ill effects -
@mitchpage3 doesn't mean it's ok -
@VicPain1 of course not I have no familiarity with the lit on this topic would love to see some either way

@sarahkliff but isn't that a PICC? -
@meganranney@sarahkliff Yeah, gif is snazzy, but starts at the wrong location. Most placed in internal jugular, subclavian or femoral veins -
@KBFischer@sarahkliff (super cool graphic, just don’t to unintentionally mislead people! :)) -
@meganranney@KBFischer@sarahkliff reminder: a PICC is a type of central line. we don't place many in the ED (although arguably we should)

@sarahkliff Your GIF is for PICC lines only, not all central lines and they should never enter the heart, they end in the SVC.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
