Midline IV replacements under the microscope: a hospital study
NCT ID NCT07394296
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tracks nearly 1,000 hospital patients who get a midline IV, a type of intravenous line used for treatments lasting up to 28 days. Researchers want to see how often these lines need to be replaced or removed early, and why. The goal is to help doctors choose the best IV device for each patient, reducing complications and improving care.
