Objective:

To examine the efficacy of ultrasound-guided combined with the Accelerated Seldinger Technique (AST) for mini midline catheter insertion in neurology patients receiving intravenous treatment.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • All136patientsweresuccessfullycatheterized.Theone-timepuncturesuccessratewas77.2%.Theaverageproceduredurationwas9.15±4.11minutes,withminimalpainassessmentduringinsertion(1.74±1.08points).Theaveragecatheterdwelltimewas12.44±6.66days.Totalcomplicationincidencewas11.0%,withcatheterobstructionbeingthemostcommonat5.1%.Patientsatisfactionlevelsreached89.7%.
    Interpretation:

    The ultrasound-assisted mini midline catheter is safe and practical for neurology patients, showing a high success rate and low complication incidence.

    Limitations:
    • Single-center study may limit generalizability.
    • Small sample size may not represent broader patient populations.
    • Further multicenter studies are needed to validate findings.
    Conclusion:

    The study supports the use of mini midline catheters for short- to mid-term intravenous treatment in neurology patients.
