Midline venous catheter: New insights for its use in hospitalized patients with diabetes
Authors' conclusion
In a prospective study we found that in hospitalized patients with diabetes the use of mid line venous catheter (MVC) resulted in a significantly lower rate of vascular complications than short cannulas.
Study context
- Population
- Hospitalized patients with DM
- Exposure
- Midline venous catheter vs short cannulas
- Outcome
- Vascular complications
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Significantly lower rate of vascular complications with MVC than short cannulas
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Safety
- Special attention should be paid to catheter obstruction when MVC is used
