Abstract
Introduction: There has been a specific type of venous catheter used in intervention radiology (IR) called: Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC). Since more than 30 years ago, PICCs catheters are used as long-term central venous providing more reliable, safe, and durable access than regular peripheral lines. Aims: The aim of this research is to compare the differences between radiological technologists and interventional radiologists in performing the PICC line insertion procedures. Methods: A retrospective cohort study with radiology confirmed reports and medical charts is reviewed at a single center in Riyadh city. The sample size is in the vicinity of 190 patients that divided between radiological technologist and interventional radiologist equally. The collected data include (Procedure duration time- Kilovoltage peak (kVp)-Total of exposure elapsed time - X-ray tube current milliampere (mA)- Technical success rate - Procedure cost). Statistical analysis significances are obtained to measure how probably differ between the outcomes of radiological technologist versus interventional radiologist in PICC line insertion procedures.
