Any line in a central vein can measure the CVP, including the PICC. I imagine that a Hickman could, but I'm not sure why you would.

Our PICC lines and CVP monitors are not compatible. You can't do it with our gear, but apparently deuist knows of a way. I believe you need a pressure column to transduce it, so if you were using a single lumen PICC to transduce CVP, you wouldn't be able to use it for anything else.
