Study of midline catheters for first-time placement
This trial is testing how well a midline catheter works for people who need one for the first time. It will help doctors understand if this type of IV line is a good option for delivering medication or fluids.

This study tests a special needle-free connector (a device that attaches to your IV line) designed to prevent infections and other problems. You'll be randomly assigned to use either the new connector or a standard one during your hospital stay.
This study looks at why midline catheters (a type of IV line) need to be replaced in patients. It will help understand how often this happens and the reasons behind it.
This trial looks at how giving stimulant medications through a special type of IV line (a midline catheter) works in real-life situations. It may help patients who already have this catheter in place.
This trial compares two ways to place a midline catheter (a type of IV line) in children to see which works better. If your child needs long-term IV access during or after surgery, this study may help find the safest and most effective method.
This study compares two ways of placing an IV when it is hard to find a vein in the emergency room: a midline catheter (a longer tube placed deeper in the arm) and an ultrasound-guided IV (using sound waves to find the vein). The goal is to see which method works better for patients like you who have difficult IV access.
This trial tests a device or method to make IV infusions safer for patients who need fluids or medications through a tube in a vein. It's for adults who already have or will get an IV line for treatments lasting at least 15 minutes.
