Overview
- Length: 8-25 cm, inserted through upper arm veins, terminates at axilla.
- Shorter ones last better than ultrasound guided peripheral IVs.
- Longer ones can run pressors. [1] and has less complications than central lines.
- Because they terminate at axilla, are peripheral access, not a central venous catheter.
Indications
- Unable to establish standard peripheral IV
- Concern for IV dislodging
- Longer term IV access
Contraindications
- Overlying skin infection
- Thrombosis of target vessel
Equipment Needed
Procedure
Complications
- Arterial puncture
- One observational study of 403 ED patients showed no catheter-associated bloodstream infections
Usage
- Medications that cannot be run through midlines:
- Chemotherapy
- Total parenteral nutrition
- Length of use: typically 2-7 days, but institution dependent
