#vascularaccess is critical for the survival of patients with advanced #chronickidneydisease. Physicians should be mindful when ordering #PICCs for these patients. From @umichmedicine @UMich @HMS_MI @AnnalsofIM bit.ly/2Wmb0xD

🚨 Just published: MAGIC-ONC — a new international framework to guide vascular access decisions in #cancer care. By treating VAD selection as a modifiable risk, we can improve outcomes & reduce harm. acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/… #MAGICONC #Oncology #VascularAccess #PatientSafety

🚨 Are midline catheters a safe choice for vancomycin OPAT? Despite guideline caution, evidence is limited. Using @HMS_MI data, we explored complication risks in hospitalized patients receiving OPAT—with & without vancomycin. Clinical dogma, meet data. 💉📊 #PatientSafety #OPAT

Findings from @HMS_MI: Administration of extended courses of vancomycin via midline catheters is associated with higher risks of serious complications and device failure. This highlights importance of medication & vascular access device compatibility. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Always a pleasure to share what we learn from @HMS_MI! Grateful for the opportunity to meet with and be inspired by the high-performing and impressive team at @CUDivHospMed! #highqualityvascularaccess
We recently hosted Dr. David Paje from the University of Michigan for our Visiting Professor program! He presented “Midline Catheters in Contemporary Clinical Practice,” sparking insightful discussion & collaboration. Thank you for joining us and advancing our clinical knowledge!

📊💡 New evidence shows how hospitalist Medical Procedure Services (MPS) improve outcomes! MPS cuts length of stay, enables weekend procedures, & boosts same-day discharges. #PatientCare 🔗: doi.org/10.1002/jhm.13484 ✍️:@PajeDavid, @StephptaylorCLT, @curtisy_call

Midline catheters used for outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) had a lower risk of major complications compared to PICCs, especially for treatments lasting 14 days or fewer. ja.ma/3Z1NCEC

‼️ New findings from #HMS suggest that midline catheters are safe alternatives to PICCs for OPAT, especially for treatment durations of 14 or fewer days. Read the @JAMAInternalMed publication here 👉jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

New paper hot off the press from @JAMAInternalMed. Congrats to @PajeDavid for leading this effort! What's better for #OPAT? Midlines or PICCs? And what duration is best for both devices? jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
