"The identified predictors may help nurses recognize patients at higher risk of PICC-related CASI and support more structured skin assessment during PICC care" Jin et al (2026).
"Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) tip positioning is a technically mature field characterized by heterogeneous evidence. International consensus guidelines consistently recommend bedside intracavitary electrocardiography (IC-ECG) and ultrasound-based strategies as first-line methods, with fluoroscopy reserved for specific indications" Shu and Li (2026).
"Dressing-change practices were consistent, with all centers reporting changes every 7 days or sooner when dressing integrity was compromised. Cap-change intervals varied from daily to every 7 days. Dressing changes required a mean of 16.5 min and cost $55.25 in labor and supplies. Cap changes cost $24.08, and daily flushing cost $13.70" Maier et al (2026).
"This case highlights key challenges in combined chemotherapy regimens, where identification of the causative agent may be uncertain and management strategies differ substantially" Jiménez-Heredia et al (2026).
"This is the main take-away point from the Early Versus Deferred Arterial Catheterization in Critically Ill Patients With Acute Circulatory Failure (EVERDAC) trial, which found that slightly fewer patients died in a group randomly assigned to not have an arterial catheter inserted unless it was truly needed, compared with putting one in immediately" Ho (2026).
"Consistent use of evidence-based intramuscular injection practices can reduce procedural risk, enhance safety, minimize pain, and support positive early health care experiences for infants and families" Van Curen and Rohan (2026).
"When conservative measures failed, we implemented a novel double-draw technique in which a second draw line was connected via a four-way stopcock and male-to-male adapter to the initial draw access (either a PIVC or port) to improve inlet flow" Sanchez et al (2026).
"This study aimed to evaluate whether using smart glasses can improve efficiency compared to conventional ultrasound-guided CVC" Wang et al (2026).
"Optimal CVAD selection is not merely a technical decision but a strategic clinical process that integrates patient, therapy, device, and health-system factors. Existing frameworks provide valuable guidance and should be interpreted within the clinical context in which they are applied, acknowledging differences in expertise, available resources, and models of care" de Souza et al (2026).
"Despite growing awareness of inappropriate PIVC use, unnecessary insertion persists, driven by cultural and organisational norms and risk-averse practices. Interventions to reduce PIVC use have been implemented, but their effectiveness and sustainability have not been systematically synthesised" Barrington et al (2026).
"This trial will evaluate whether a randomized trial comparing intravenous and oral fluid therapy is feasible in ED patients and whether oral fluid therapy can achieve prescribed fluid volumes comparable to those achieved with intravenous therapy" Biesenbach et al (2026).
"This case highlights the unpredictable clinical course of NMBD extravasation and demonstrates that recurrent paralysis may occur despite initial successful reversal, requiring quantitative neuromuscular monitoring, extended postoperative observation, and administration of repeat doses of sugammadex as delayed systemic absorption occurs" Crafton et al (2026).
