*************************************************
As MAGIC guideline suggests, with the aid of ultrasound-guided technique, short catheters and midline catheters should be used more often instead of PICCs and CVCs in the case of difficult vascular access.
The dynamic needle tip positioning technique can be applied to ultrasound-guided cannulation of virtually all peripheral vessels, including hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula, upper arm vein for PICC and midline catheter, and radial artery for monitoring. One exception is calcified arteries (e.g., radial artery of dialysis patients): In such cases, the “needle blinking method” may not work because the ultrasound beam does not penetrate the calcified wall.
