Comparing Midline and Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters: A Randomized Feasibility Trial
Because of a decrease in PICC use for noncentral, medium-term vascular access needs, a trial comparing devices may not be practical for assessing the effective use of midline catheters in hospitalized children. Next steps may include a hybrid effectiveness-implementation study evaluating an intravenous catheter selection algorithm that incorporates midline catheters.
