Lescinskas EH, Trautner BW, Saint S, Colozzi J, Evertsz K, Chopra V, Krein SL. Use of and patient-reported complications related to midline catheters and peripherally inserted central catheters. Infection control and hospital epidemiology. 2020 May 1; 41(5):608-610.
We conducted a prospective observational study of indications for use and patient experiences with midline catheters (n = 50) compared to peripherally inserted central catheters (n = 63). The primary indication for patients with midline catheters was difficult venous access. Patients with midline catheters reported fewer complications than patients with peripherally inserted central catheters.
