# Safety of Vancomycin Use Through Midline Catheters for Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy

## TL;DR

This study investigates whether using vancomycin through midline catheters in outpatient settings causes device-related complications.

## Contribution

The study provides new evidence on the safety of administering vancomycin via midline catheters in outpatient care.

## Key findings

- Vancomycin use through midline catheters was not significantly associated with increased device-related complications.
- Patients receiving vancomycin via midline catheters had similar complication rates to those on other antimicrobials.

## Abstract

This cohort study examines the association between vancomycin use through midline catheters and device-related complications among patients receiving outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy.
