New publication on the Performance and safety of Femorally Inserted Central Catheters in oncological patients: A cases series analysis from the Journal of Vascular Access…
"Despite some limitations, the competency framework that has been developed can be used as a reference for educational interventions aimed at reducing complications related to CVCs" Ravot et al (2026).
"Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) locks have shown potential in reducing CRBSIs in adult populations, but data in pediatric patients with IF remain limited" Davis et al (2026).
"This study contributes to pediatric nursing science by providing objective, ultrasound-based evidence on the vascular effects of commonly used topical anesthetics and supports nurses' clinical decision-making in venous access management" Semeraro et al (2026).
"The findings highlight that although ChatGPT models can provide supportive information, their limitations in accuracy and completeness may pose risks for patient safety, particularly in critical domains such as aseptic technique and hand hygiene" Pehlivan et al (2026).
"Adherence to prevention guidelines for device-associated infections (DAIs) in intensive care units (ICUs) is critical but often suboptimal" Ghavidel-Sardsahra et al (2026).
"This study aimed to improve flagging of patients with difficult venous access and increase first-attempt intravenous catheter insertion in adult emergency department patients" Olmedo and Canamar (2026).
"We aimed to characterize first attempt and overall success in a nationwide cohort, investigate factors associated with first attempt IV access success, and determine the prehospital utilization rate of successful IV access" Smida et al (2026).
"This study evaluated the predictive accuracy of upper-limb edema in identifying difficult intravenous catheter placement" Petta et al (2026).
"Ultrasound (US) guidance can improve outcomes in difficult venous access (DIVA), but adoption and training among bedside clinicians remain inconsistent. We surveyed clinicians to assess current practices, training, and confidence in PVAD placement, including the use of US" Bahl and Mielke (2026).
"The current case report presents examples demonstrating that phlebitis and infiltration are heterogenous conditions with varied and overlapping signs that do not always align with conventional definitions" Kitada et al (2026).
"Non-contrast chest CT 3D reconstruction shows greater accuracy in preoperative depth prediction compared to IC-ECG. It may thus be a preferential alternative when intraoperative guidance is unavailable" Lv et al (2026).
