“…Another factor supporting the view that the MCL is a safe catheter is the lack of cases of phlebitis observed in the present study, a complication that has been reported elsewhere (Caparas & Hung, 2017; Dumont et al, 2014; Meyer, 2020; Penoyer et al,2021; Sharp et al, 2014; Spiegel et al, 2020; Xu et al, 2016). Factors that may have contributed to the lack of phlebitis and infiltration include the use of an ultrasound‐guided MST, the insertion in deep veins of the arm (with a larger diameter and flow allowing a greater haemodilution) (Adams et al, 2016; Alexandrou et al, 2011; Caparas & Hung, 2017), the catheter material and length, the selection of the basilic and brachial veins rather than the cephalic vein, the site of insertion (ZIM TM green zone) (Dawson, 2011) and the use of a sutureless securement device.…”
