I get loads of questions asking me about picc lines and port-a-caths so I decided to just make a video talking all about them! I discuss what they’re for, the differences, how to prepare and recovery from the placement procedure of each, long term care tips, and just some overall tips & tricks.
I hope this video is helpful for some of you!

This was very informative. Thank you for this!
I do have a question. If you have to pay out of pocket, which is cheaper? And what would the cost be for a pick line vs a port?
Also, if you’re doing nutritional IVs instead of antibiotic IVs, would it still work? The only reason I ask is because nutritional IVs are different from antibiotic IVS.

I’m glad it was helpful. The picc is cheaper out of pocket but I’m not sure the costs (I think a picc is around $1000 but a port will be more expensive due to the procedure being more complex).
Yes, you can use a picc or port for any type of IV’s. I don’t do antibiotic treatment, I use my port for all alternative therapies and nutritional IV’s.
