PICC/Central Line Dressings

We are looking to standardize our dressings.  We have selected one for the ports, as well as a securement dressing for the others, both with CHG. The question I have for clinicians, what do you use for your non-sutured lines? Initially, we are looking at sticking with the securement dressing only, but now am hearing concerns about requiring a stat lock so they don't get dislodged.  

Thank you.

We use a Statlock always.

We use the securement dressings only and not stat locks and don't seem to have any issues since we've made the switch a while ago.

In my experience PICC/Midlines have had STATLock securement devices and triple lumen catheters/introducers have been sutured in place.
