• Nursing Management: Change dressing regularly, flush the PAC with saline solution as prescribed, and educate patients on proper PAC care
• Monitoring: Monitor PAC insertion site daily for signs of infection, monitor IV fluids and medications administered through the catheter
• Assessment: Monitor for signs of infection (e.g., redness, swelling), monitor blood flow and patency
• Disadvantages: May cause discomfort or pain during insertion and removal
• Advantages: Easy to insert and remove, reduces risk of infection and mechanical failure

• Nursing Management: Change dressing regularly, flush the midline catheter with saline solution as prescribed, and educate patients on proper midline catheter care
• Monitoring: Monitor midline catheter insertion site daily for signs of infection, monitor IV fluids and medications administered through the catheter
• Assessment: Monitor for signs of infection (e.g., redness, swelling, pus), monitor blood flow and patency
• Disadvantages: May require repeated attempts at insertion
• Advantages: Less invasive than CVC and PICC, reduces risk of infection and mechanical failure
