compared to conventional and fluoroscopy techniques. Methods: Retrospective analysis of the occurrence of complications related to the peripherally inserted central catheter in oncohematological patients. Three PICC insertion scenarios were compared, conventional technique, ultrasound technique and fluoroscopy insertion. Results: A total of 227 PICCs were analyzed. They presented complications related to the catheter in 24.3% using the conventional technique, 30.4% using the fluoroscopy technique and 21.5% using ultrasound. Conclusions: The study shows that the PICC is an increasingly suitable device for patients who need prolonged intravenous therapy. In the three scenarios analyzed, ultrasound proved to be a high technology and presented positive results when analyzing the occurrences of complications and presented a prolonged length of stay in oncohematological patients.
