Impact of accelerated seldinger technique long peripheral catheters on catheter-related outcomes: a systematic review

Key Points

• This review aims to evaluate the outcomes associated with long peripheral catheters placed using the accelerated seldinger technique.
• Conducted a systematic review of existing studies on AST-placed long peripheral catheters (LPCs).
• Assessed catheter-related complications reported in the literature.
• Compared outcomes of AST-LPCs with traditional short peripheral catheters.
• Moderate number of catheter-related complications observed with AST-LPCs.
• Potentially more durable option indicated for patients with DIVA compared to short peripheral catheters.
• Limited evidence due to inconsistent reporting of therapy completion and catheter outcomes.
