"A quality improvement project to standardize peripheral intravenous catheter insertion, maintenance, and documentation was implemented with the goal of aligning with professional standards for peripheral intravenous catheter removal as clinically indicated" Coleman et al (2025).
"Extravasation of calcium gluconate solution is a rare yet serious complication in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), capable of causing significant skin necrosis, ulceration and long-term functional impairment" Li et al (2025).
"Infusion therapy, used to administer medications for multiple chronic diseases, can be performed in hospital outpatient departments (HOPDs), patients' homes, ambulatory infusion centers, and physicians' offices" Cullen et al (2025).
