Midline catheters provide a viable alternative to peripheral intravenous lines or central venous access devices in patients presenting with difficult-to-access veins, no clear indication for central venous access, and a likelihood of hospitalization for > 48 h.
31 paź 2022 · When talking about peripherally inserted catheters, we can differentiate between peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC), midline catheters, and long peripheral catheters (LPC). Midline catheters are rarely used despite being recommended for intravenous therapies lasting more than six days.
20 kwi 2022 · The midline catheter growth has been exponential since it is a resource that allows a notable improvement in the management of vascular access for medium-term treatments compatible with peripheral perfusion. Midline catheters must be placed by trained and specialised personnel.
Midline catheters are considered “midway” regarding vascular access. The objective of this systematic review was to explore the current practice, dwell time, and complication rates of midline catheters.
A midline catheter is a thin, soft tube that is placed into a vein, usually in the arm. The catheter is then moved through the vein until the tip sits at the level of your armpit and away from the shoulder.
29 lis 2021 · Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) and midlines are frequently used for short-term venous access; whether one is safer than the other in this setting has not been adequately reported. Objective.
29 wrz 2023 · Midline catheters (midlines) are also peripherally inserted and dwell in the deep veins of the upper extremity, but they are shorter in length compared to PICCs. Because they do not enter the central venous circulation, midlines are purportedly less thrombotic and less invasive and are unlikely to cause central vein injury.
