Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) Complications During Pregnancy

Abstract: PICC insertion in pregnant women is associated with a high complication rate, which appears to be independent of the type of infusate and occurs in the majority of women. PICCs should be used judiciously and only when clearly necessary during pregnancy. Further studies are needed to determine how to reduce PICC-related complications in this population.

“…The concern is primarily due to a higher rate of catheter-related complications among pregnant women. 187 A retrospective study including 94 women with HG found neither EN nor PN to be superior in achieving healthy birth outcomes compared with those receiving IV medications only. Additionally, 64% of the participants with a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line suffered complications, such as bacteremia, thrombosis, and pulmonary embolus, though it should be noted that only 5 of the 33 women with a PICC were receiving PN.…”

“…PN in HG should be reserved for those unable to maintain weight who failed EN or have contraindications. The concern is primarily due to a higher rate of catheter‐related complications among pregnant women . A retrospective study including 94 women with HG found neither EN nor PN to be superior in achieving healthy birth outcomes compared with those receiving IV medications only.…”

“…Larger‐caliber CVADs are also more likely than smaller devices to create conditions that lead to thrombus formation, such as endothelial trauma, inflammation, stasis, and turbulent blood flow 22 . The risk for DVT is especially pronounced with PICCs as compared with other types of CVADs, particularly for patients who are critically ill, who are pregnant, or who have cancer 36 , 37 . One analysis of 2014 PICCs revealed that triple‐lumen devices carried a 20‐fold increase in risk for DVT when compared with single‐lumen PICCs 38 …”

“…A significant maternal complication rate (66.4%) associated with the use of PICCs also was noted in a retrospective study of 33 women with hyperemesis gravidarum and included infection, thromboembolism, bacteremia, and sepsis (94). Similarly, another retrospective study of 66 pregnant women with hyperemesis who received PICCs for intravenous fluid, parenteral nutrition, and antibiotic administration also found complications in 55.9% of PICCs (102). The overall complication rate was 18.5 per 1,000 PICC days; bacteremia was the most frequent major complication occurring at a rate of 20.2% of major complications.…”
