Catheter- and Antibiotic-Related Complications of Ambulatory Intravenous Antibiotic Therapy for Chronic Refractory Rhinosinusitis

Abstract

Intravenous antimicrobial treatment administered through a PICC line in an outpatient setting is well-tolerated for chronic rhinosinusitis. Although PICC line and antibiotic-related complications are relatively infrequent, the physician should be aware of these complications and consider them in selecting patients for OPAT.
