AbstractObjectives: The most effective use of midline catheters in children is not well understood. We aimed to test the feasibility of a trial comparing peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) to midline catheters in hospitalized children in need of durable vascular access. Methods: Our study combined a single site, randomized controlled feasibility trial and a prospective observational study comparing PICCs to midline catheters.
