Dual lumens may be necessary in some patients but that depends upon the fluids and meds prescribed. The blood flow at the catheter tip of a midline is not the same as the blood flow in the SVC.So there could be some concern for drug contact at the catheter tip. Midlines should not be used for routine blood sampling because the tip is in the peripheral veins that have a smaller diameter.ual lumens may be necessary in some patients but that depends upon the fluids and meds prescribed.

All of those lumens are completely separate for the entire length of the catheter so that incompatible medications can be infused without contact in the catheter lumen. am wondering if there are other hospitals that have this practive. I am working to hopefully to have this change so we can run incompatibles though a dual lumen PICC and then hopefully we could bring in triple lumen PICCs.
