  1. PICC placement for a pt with high INR

    piccchick7 posted a topic in Infusion, Intravenous
    Hello all, Looking for some info from the experienced PICC nurses. Patient has a high INR (above 3.0), MD wants line placed for long term antibiotics and dehydration treatment. MD believes since PICC line is placed in arm the INR doesn't matter (It is placed periperally). Patient is still at a higher risk for bleeding!!! I refused to place PICC. Now MD is looking to have interventional radiology place PICC in patient. Would a interventional radiologist do this??? Even with the INR that high???? Please give me your feedback.
