Choosing the right vascular catheter is important to minimise damage to the patient\u2019s tissues, improve the quality of medical care and reduce costs associated with treatment complications. The purpose of this study was to review the effectiveness of midline catheters as a strategic component of intravenous infusions in a Polish hospital.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Material and methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study material consists of medical records of patients with midline catheters at Czerniakowski Hospital in Warsaw over the period from 5th October 2021 to 19th May 2023. An analysis of 341 infusion observation charts was performed, excluding illegible and incomplete data. In this article, all of the catheters we used were inserted under ultrasound guidance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The type of vein chosen has no significant effect on the catheter dwell time (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.984).

Catheters with a length of 15\u2009cm have the longest dwell time, while those with a length of 20\u2009cm have the shortest. Completion of therapy or patient death was the most common reason for catheter removal (46.9%). Catheter size had an impact on catheter dwell time (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.034).
