Investigation of the Safety and Efficacy of Midline Catheters and PICCs in Adult Patients
In recent years, midline catheters (MCs) have garnered attention as devices that are less invasive than peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) and are expected to reduce the risk of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs). However, in practice, questions remain as to whether they are truly safer than PICCs and if complications are fewer... -

Efficacy of antimicrobial caps
Today, we're introducing a paper about antibacterial caps. The basic method for disinfecting catheters is the "hub scrub," which involves wiping the hub with an alcohol swab for 15 seconds.
