PAULDING — Paulding County Hospital announced Friday it is now able to provide Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC line) and midline catheter insertion services at its facility.
A midline is placed using ultrasound guidance, which lets the clinician see the vein in real time and position the catheter accurately. You’ll sit or lie with your arm extended.
Care guide for Midline Catheter. Includes: possible causes, signs and symptoms, standard treatment options and means of care and support.
midline (also called a midline catheter) is a long, thin, flexible tube that is inserted into a large vein in the upper arm. It is used to safely administer medication into the bloodstream, similar to a cannula (a small tube that is inserted into a vein, usually in the back of your hand or arm).
A midline venous catheter is a long (3 to 8 inches, or 7 to 20 centimeters) thin, soft plastic tube that is put into a small vein. It's also called a long peripheral catheter.
This handout explains Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters and Midline Catheters, why they are used, and what to expect when going home with one of these catheters.
