Midline Catheters: What, Why, When
Course Description
Although the first midline catheter was introduced in 1989, their use has grown over the past few years. This updated review and analysis of the published evidence will provide information about patient assessment for appropriate use of midline catheters. We have divided all midline catheters into “generations” based on their design. The evidence is also grouped and analyzed by this division with details presented in a short discussion and more detailed evidence tables you can download as PDF documents. New information includes the four medications with the highest rates of midline catheter complications (and Vancomycin is not on that list), new studies on vein diameter, and discussion about dwell time. Evidence-based practice with midline catheters can be as simple as taking this course and apply these resources.
