A midline catheter is a medical tool that is used to deliver medication and fluids directly into a patient's bloodstream.
Midline catheters are typically inserted through a peripheral vein in the arm and are advanced toward the patient's midline or central veins. The midline catheter allows for rapid and efficient delivery of medications and fluids to the body.
Midline catheter insertion should be ultrasound guided by an experienced operator to ensure large caliber basilic or brachial veins are selected to avoid thrombosis.
Dwell time for midline catheters is just between standard IV and PICC, for those who need 7-30 days of therapy, a midline catheter might be their best choice.
Midline catheter length is an important consideration in the medical field, as it can affect the success of the catheter placement and the comfort of the patient.
A midline catheter kit is similar to a central venous catheter (CVC) but is smaller in size and length. The midline catheter size is typically between 3-8 inches in length, with an average length of around 5 inches.
In general, midline catheters are available in different sizes. The size of the catheter is determined by the diameter of the catheter shaft, with larger sizes being used for patients who require higher volumes of fluids or medications.
The length of midline catheters required for a patient will depend on various factors such as the patient's age, weight, medical condition, and the specific purpose of the catheter.

Patients who require intravenous therapy for 7 to 30 days are ideal candidates for midline catheters. This includes those needing antibiotics, hydration, pain management, or other medications that do not require central venous access.
Midline catheters offer several advantages over other types of vascular access devices:
Less Invasive: They are less invasive than central venous catheters (CVCs) and do not require the same level of expertise to place.
Longer Dwell Time: They can remain in place longer than standard IV lines, reducing the need for frequent needle sticks and minimizing damage to small veins.
Reduced Risk of Complications: Due to their noncentral positioning, midline catheters are associated with a reduced risk of complications compared to central catheters.
Midline catheters are a valuable tool for healthcare providers, offering a safe and efficient way to deliver medications and fluids to patients. Midline catheters are a valuable vascular access option for patients who require short-term central venous access.
The use of midline catheters has become increasingly popular in recent years, as they offer several advantages over other types of vascular access devices. Midline catheters are less invasive than CVCs and do not require the same level of expertise to place them.
If you need a midline catheter, your healthcare provider can provide you with more information on what size and length are appropriate for your individual needs.
