简要总结
Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) are catheters that are placed mainly in the arms, but which pass in the veins to beside the heart. They are associated with occasional complications due to infection or blockage of the vein that they are in. The investigators want to investigate whether PICCs in the right arm have lower complications than those in the left. This difference in complication rates has been noticed in most other forms of central venous access.

结局指标
主要结局
Line infection rate
时间窗: From insertion to line removal, an estimated time of 4 weeks
All patients will be followed from the point of time of randomisation and PICC insertion until the line develops a complication or is removed. The average length of duration of line access in our institution is 4 weeks.
次要结局
- Effect of number of lumens(From insertion to time of removal, an estimated average time of four weeks.)
