The mean age of study population is 31.92 years. 31.32 is the mean burns percentage of study population. More had right femoral artery PICC. 12.8 days is mean line indwelling time in study population? Only 6 patients were developed PRLVT.The study results concluded that PRLVT is not uncommon in patients with different types of burns.
