Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) line is the type of intravenous line which the nurse would choose for the norepinephrine intravenous infusion.
<h3>What is Norepinephrine?</h3>
This chemical is released by the adrenal glands in the body and acts as both a stress hormone and neurotransmitter.
Norepinephrine is referred to as a vesicant and can cause tissue necrosis in individuals when it infiltrates into the subcutaneous tissues. The best way is to infuse it through a central line so to prevent this type of complication.
This is therefore the reason why PICC line was chosen as the most appropriate choice.
