  1. I do realize that a PICC is a Central Line. However, in research that I have done, I have seen lung puncture listed as a complication when referring to central lines in general, but not PICC specific. You state that a PICCs are easier and safer to insert. Does that mean that there is not a possibility of puncuturing the lung during insertion? Or if it is a possible complication what is the incidence? Thanks
  2. One of the complications of Central lines listed above, is the possibility of puncturing the lung upon insertion. Is this not a problem in PICC placement?
