Audit of parenteral nutrition use in surgical patients – Full Text

"PN practices at our institution demonstrated substantial adherence to the 2017 ASPEN guideline recommendations. However, important gaps remained in central venous catheter care documentation and blood glucose monitoring, highlighting opportunities to improve the quality and safety of PN delivery through enhanced documentation and adherence to guideline-recommended monitoring practices" Anvesh et al (2026).

Spontaneous PICC migration after cardiac surgery – Full Text

"This case highlights postoperative coughing and synchronized cardioversion as potential contributors to PICC migration in cardiac surgery patients and underscores the importance of reassessing catheter position following high-risk events to prevent complications related to catheter malposition" Tsoumpelis et al (2026).

When to use a midline catheter

"Our data suggest that MVCs may be selectively used based on therapy duration, infusate characteristics, and patient-specific factors rather than as routine substitutes for PICCs" Ali et al (2026).

Reducing inpatient pediatric CLABSI

"Significant reductions in hospital CLABSI rates can be achieved by using additional measures beyond focusing on CL maintenance and insertion bundles, and particularly through developing proactive risk assessment and escalation processes" Wong et al (2026).

Implantable port-associated central venous thrombosis

"The patient was treated with systemic anticoagulation and urgent endovascular thrombectomy with the removal of the indwelling port, resulting in rapid clinical improvement. This case emphasizes that in SVC obstruction, visible cyanosis may reflect localized venous congestion rather than systemic hypoxemia" Arikupurathu et al (2026).

Implantable port salvage with antibiotic lock therapy

"Systemic antimicrobial therapy combined with ALT can be an effective catheter-preserving strategy for high-risk patients with device-related infections caused by rare environmental non-fermenting Gram-negative organisms such as Pseudoxanthomonas sp" Akazawa et al (2026).

When to x-ray after ultrasound-guided TIVAP insertion

"Routine post-procedural chest X-ray identified catheter tip malpositioning in a subset of patients; however, these findings did not alter clinical management in the absence of port dysfunction. Selective imaging in patients with failed port functionality may safely reduce unnecessary radiation exposure and healthcare costs without compromising outcomes" Karakoç et al (2026)

Persistent candidemia impact on 30-day mortality

"Persistent candidemia occurred in one in five patients and was independently associated with increased 30-day mortality. Early catheter removal emerged as the only independent protective factor, underscoring the importance of prompt source control and systematic follow-up blood cultures in the management of candidemia" Suarez-Urquiza et al (2026).
