Yes, you can draw blood from a PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) using a vacutainer, but it's important to follow proper protocols. Ensure that the PICC line is patent and sterile, and use the appropriate size and type of vacutainer for the sample needed. Always follow institutional guidelines and check for any specific orders related to blood draws from central lines. Additionally, it's crucial to maintain aseptic technique to prevent infection.
