2) Describe the parameters (flow rates, patient comfort, adverse events) used by the study to show benefits of midline catheter
3) Recognize the drawbacks of midline catheter (higher thrombosis risk over time, limit of 4 week dwell time -> requiring new placement each month for chronic transfusion patients)
