Information for patients at home who need intravenous therapy through a Midline (under review)

Hospital at Home Team

A Mid Line is a flexible hollow tube that is threaded over a guide-wire which is inserted into a blood vessel. The guide-wire is then removed leaving a hollow plastic tube in place. This allows drugs/fluids to be given directly into the bloodstream. This leaflet outlines how you are to care for your Mid Line at home, and what to do should the Mid Line fall out.
