Summary
This study is a prospective, randomized, non-blinded study. 1 group will be assigned the
standard arm with use of heparinised saline (10U/ml) lock in between each catheter use. This
is consistent with the standard procedure of PICC care in the investigators' centre. The
second group will be assigned the intervention with use of 4% citrate lock (Dirinco
Citra-Lock 4%) in between each catheter use.
