First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 25, 2026 · Updated 20 times
Summary
This pilot study tested whether a midline catheter (a longer IV placed in the upper arm) could be a safer and easier alternative to a central venous catheter (a large IV placed in a neck, chest, or groin vein) for hospitalized adults with difficult IV access. The study enrolled 30 patients and focused on whether a larger trial is feasible. The goal is to reduce needle sticks and complications for patients who need IV access for 4 to 29 days.
