It was reported that the insertion of the midline was successful with no issues.Directly after insertion, the nurse lifted the catheter at the hub to place a statlock and heard a pop.The facility stated that, ¿the pop sound is assumed to be the hub separating from the catheter itself.¿ the patient had to go to ir to have product removed.They also noted that they put a tourniquet on the patient to "keep catheter from migrating." no patient injury reported.
