23 Φεβ 2022 · To minimise vascular damage during treatments lasting longer than 3 days, it is important to consider channelling a midline catheter. The midline is a peripheral catheter that is inserted into deep veins of the arm (basilic, brachial or cephalic), guided by ultrasound.
Midline Catheter Placement generally starts in a vein in the arm just above the elbow and remains in the peripheral vein; it does not end in a central vein or near the heart. Midline Catheter Placement is generally inserted by PICC Nurses, who are trained in Ultrasound Guided PIVs, Midlines, and PICCs placements.
This sheet tells you more about a midline catheter and how a healthcare provider places it in your body. Why do I need a midline catheter? A midline catheter takes the place of a standard IV (intravenous) line.
Since the introduction of ultrasound-guided venous cannulation, midline catheters have become a feasible substitute for central venous catheters because of their lower risk of bloodstream infections and because they are more cost-effective.
A midline catheter is an 8 - 12 cm catheter inserted in the upper arm with the tip located just below the axilla. Insertion should be ultrasound guided by an experienced operator to ensure large calibre basilic or brachial veins are selected to avoid thrombosis.
