There are no standards or recommendations that have established a limit. We offer an online CE course that includes all the published evidence on midlines to review this data. Many think that vancomycin should not ever be infused through a midline because of its weak vesicant nature. This CE course provides lots of information to consider when making your decision. www.hadawayassociates.com
We will only place a midline on someone getting Vanco, while we are waiting on the culture results. We then want to promptly re assess and get an PICC line if it will continue or keep the midline if the drug changes .
Patients scheduled to receive short-term intravenous vancomycin ((normally less than 6 days)) were randomly assigned to receive treatment through either a PICC or the midline study device.
Good health and good sense, two of life's greatest blessings.

Thanks Lynn.
