"Although peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are widely used in oncology for safe vascular access, comparatively less attention has been devoted to the organisational and logistical burden of PICC management and to the related involvement of informal caregivers in ambulatory settings" Iacorossi et al (2026).
"We did a study to identify the causes of contamination of blood culture samples and methods to decrease blood culture contamination rates" Bothra et al
"Mechanical infusion systems were associated with consistently lower reported rates of local infusion-site reactions compared with electronic infusion systems in this descriptive synthesis, while both system types effectively achieved IgG levels consistent with adequate dose delivery" Majapuro-Hirvonen et al (2026).
"To evaluate an XR ruler during peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement as a representative clinical task to assess comparative effectiveness, measurement accuracy, operator comfort and user challenges" Dhanaliwala et al (2026).
New publication on the Global research landscape of vascular access device-related complications in oncology: A bibliometric analysis from the Journal of Vascular Access Global research…
"Overall, these findings suggest that S-OPAT can be delivered safely and effectively to appropriately selected patients, while enhanced monitoring may be warranted for older individuals and those with greater comorbidity burden or central venous access devices" Durojaiye et al (2026).
"VR glasses effectively reduced venipuncture-related pain, fear, and anxiety in school-age children. These preliminary findings support VR as a promising non-pharmacological adjunct for reducing procedural pain" Kızıl et al (2026).
"This review synthesizes evidence on the optimal timing of PN initiation, duration, and delivery within the 24-h day in pediatric populations" Chan et al (2026).
"Extended-wear infusion sets (E-iS) allowing up to 7 days of catheter use have recently become available. Real-world evidence of contemporary automated insulin delivery (AID) systems using E-iS remains limited" Nieto de la Marca et al (2026).
"Among 1406 patients, the 12-month cumulative incidence was 34.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 31.4-37.1) for elective removal, 10.1% (95% CI, 8.2-11.9) for reactivation, 4.1% (95% CI, 3.0-5.3) for complication-related removal, and 1.0% (95% CI, 0.5-1.6) for network-documented death" Fan et al (2026).
"Pump ownership was strongly correlated with the number of beds for both infusion and syringe pumps. Pumps per bed ranged from 0.26 to 0.48 for infusion pumps and from 0.16 to 0.45 for syringe pumps" Imada et al (2026).
"Implementation of a POCUS-guided PICC protocol improved confirmation efficiency and reduced reliance on multiple radiographs" Caddell et al (2026).
