The cephalic and basilic veins are also located in the forearm and upper arms; however, they may be more difficult to palpate due to their location deep within surrounding muscles and proximity to bone structures (Alexander & Corrigan, 2004).This specific knowledge of vein placement is only a portion of the advanced education and technical experience necessary for nurses to be adequately equipped.

Of the 76 peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) lines placed in the basilic vein, 35.5% migrated inferiorly and medially (mean 1.48 cm), 14.5% migrated laterally (mean 1.74 cm), and 50% did not change position.
