How ling doss it take to flush a PICC line?
Thanks , don't we have a flush before each treatment which is saline and takes maybe half hour?
They did flush mine before treatment but it didn't take half hour. Couldn't really say how long it too but I'm sure it was only a few mins! But then I'm new to this so it may be different for different people?
