💉 Midline Catheter — Nursing Quick Notes A midline catheter is a longer peripheral IV catheter inserted into an upper-arm vein. Unlike a PICC or central line, the tip does not enter the central circulation. 📌 Common uses: • IV fluids • Suitable IV antibiotics • Peripherally compatible medications • Blood sampling with some devices, depending on local policy 👩‍⚕️ Nursing care: • Check for redness, pain, swelling or leakage • Keep the dressing clean, dry and intact • Use aseptic technique when accessing • Flush according to device and local guidance • Watch for infection, occlusion, phlebitis, infiltration/extravasation and thrombosis ⚠️ Midlines are not suitable for every IV medication. Always check drug compatibility, device guidance and your local policy. 🧠 Remember: Midline = longer peripheral line, NOT a central line. Save this for your nursing revision! 📚🩺 #MidlineCatheter #IVTherapy #NursingNotes #NursingStudents #ClinicalNursing
