Hi group,
Can someone please direct me to information about tip placement for femoral
lines? I'm looking for studies or data on bad outcomes of short lines, not
reaching the IVC. It is common practice here to insert 20cm lines and then
treating them as if they are central. As this is physician issue I will
need substantial data to steer them away from this practice.
Thanks,
