Advanced short peripheral cannulas are short cannulas provided with a wide soft wing and a preassembled extension, made of biocompatible materials, such as polyurethane, rather than teflon (at greater risk of thrombosis).
These cannulas are associated with a prolonged duration (up to a week), if positioned and managed according to the recommendations of the INS and EPIC guidelines (insertion site far from flexion zones; skin antisepsis with chlorhexidine 2% in alcohol ; cover with transparent bordered dressing; flushing with normal saline - preferably using pre-filled syringes - before and after each infusion; use exclusively for infusion of peripherally compatible solutions).
