Medicina (Kaunas). 2025 Oct 19;61(10):1876. doi: 10.3390/medicina61101876.ABSTRACTBackground and Objectives: Some cancer patients in palliative care need to access intravenous administration of medications to relieve symptoms. Few studies have explicitly assessed the safety and feasibility of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) insertion at bedside in palliative care settings. In this study, we suggest the usefulness, safety, and feasibility of bedside ultrasound-guided PICC placement as a tool for improvement in the quality of life for patients in palliative and hospice care settings. Materials and Methods: The study population, with terminal cancer and admitted to a palliative and hospice care unit in the…
