Does anyone know if any new data to support leavin midlines at mid-clavicular tip vs.at the axilla ?
Thank you
Midclavicular tip location was still not recognized in the 2016 INS Standards, and never has been recognized in that document. We put this issue to rest at least 20 years ago by studies that showed much higher rates of thrombosis.
