Hi Kevin, I started using us

Hi Kevin, I started using us for diff Iv insertions since 2003' and in 2006-2009 had been developing a program for teaching and perfecting insertion (trouble shooting).  the biggest obstacle was catheter length and with the deeper access, avoiding intuma damage that leads to future infiltration.  I would like to chat with you to share experiences and discuss each others process.  You can reach me at [email protected].   Brad d.

I have been researching this

I have been researching this topic myself and came across this article. It compares the ultrsound insertions of both long and short catheters.  They did ultrasound examination at the time of removal.  I don't like the thrombosis rates.  Although the article doesn't state so it appears these are upper arm placements.
