Pulsatile flushing of a peripherally inserted central catheter

Pulsatile flushing is performed by injecting saline with moderate pressure, stopping, and then resuming again. This sequence is repeated several times and helps to prevent clotting in a peripherally inserted central catheter by providing more effective clearing.
