Question: what is the difference between a central line and midline?
Answer: Peripherally inserted central catheters are also called PICC lines or central venous catheters (CVC). A PICC line is a small, flexible catheter (tube) that is put into a vein. ... A midline catheter is put into a vein by the bend in your elbow or your upper arm. The midline catheter tube is shorter than a PICC line.
