PICC Line Guide for IR Technologists: IR Technologists’ Perspective

Description:

This guide is written specifically for Interventional Radiology (IR) technologists, with a strong focus on the practice of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line insertion. It provides a structured, step-by-step reference in the language of technologists, addressing a long-standing gap in the available resources. The book emphasizes patient safety, procedural efficiency, and evidence-based techniques, making it a valuable tool for both practicing technologists and those in training. Topics include ultrasound-guided venous access, sterile technique, documentation, and workflow integration, all presented in a way that bridges clinical knowledge with practical application. By highlighting the unique role of technologists in PICC line placement, this volume also encourages the development of professional confidence, academic contribution, and the pursuit of excellence in vascular access. It is intended as both a teaching aid and a practical desk reference for IR technologists across Saudi Arabia, the Gulf region, and beyond.
