HI,
Looking for results of PEDIATRIC placed midlines over a period of time. Our institution is in need of bridging the gap between piv and central lines/ piccs. I am finding it difficult to find research that supports or disqualifies it's use in children.
Thank you
Midlines are used in children. there are numerous studies on their use especially in the cystic fibrosis population. Lynn
