Midline and midclavicular catheters. Intravenous Nurses Society.

The Intravenous Nurses Society (INS) recognizes the need for uniform terminology for midline and midclavicular catheters to encourage standardization for indications, care, and maintenance strategies for these devices. It also recognizes the need for recommendations regarding the choice, use, management, and discontinuation of midline and midclavicular catheters to promote positive patient outcomes and enhance patient comfort, safety, and satisfaction.
