"OPAT provided safe, effective treatment for selected patients with GNB, lowering mortality, shortening length of stay, and reducing costs compared with continued inpatient care. Careful patient selection and early IV-to-oral transition can maximize these benefits while maintaining favorable clinical outcomes" Chaponda et al (2025).
"Chemotherapy extravasation is a serious iatrogenic complication, especially with vesicant agents such as epirubicin. In severe cases, it can lead to extensive tissue necrosis and compartment syndrome" Putra et al (2025).
"Standardized TCS lock therapy effectively and safely reduces CRBSIs in pediatric patients with IF, particularly those caused by Gram-negative and fungal organisms. These results support the use of TCS as a prophylactic option for preventing infection in long-term CVC use" Aksoy et al (2025).
"Port reservoir thickness is an independent predictor of skin erosion requiring revision. Thicker ports were linked to higher complication rates, particularly in patients receiving anti-VEGF therapy, underscoring the importance of device selection and design considerations in clinical practice" Yavuz and Iscan (2025).
"Complete absence of the right superior vena cava (SVC) is rare but may complicate central venous catheter placement and hemodialysis access if unrecognized" Müller-Kühnle et al (2025).
New publication on The association of irritant administration via midline catheters with catheter-related complications: A longitudinal cohort study from the Journal of Vascular Access The…
"Application of EMLA cream for 64 minutes or tetracaine gel for 44 minutes at the site of TIVADs resulted in a safely conducted, painless non-coring needle puncture for 95% of patients" Jiang et al (2025).
"Implementation of evidence-based continuous quality improvement strategies achieved substantial and sustained reductions in peripherally inserted central catheter complications among premature infants, supporting systematic adoption of multidisciplinary approaches to optimize vascular access outcomes in vulnerable neonatal populations" Zhu et al (2025).
"This means that in their original 3SITES trial, most of subclavian vein catheterizations were landmark-based, which was associated with a higher risk of immediate mechanical complications. In contrast, real-time ultrasound can overcome the drawbacks of the landmark-based subclavian vein access technique and improve its risk-benefit profile" Zhang and Zhang (2025).
"This study aimed to investigate the ability of NEWS2 ≥ 5p to identify sepsis, per Sepsis-3 criteria, among adult patients with community-acquired infection and positive blood cultures" Prytz et al (2025).
"Our data provide some evidence that following a temporary decline of CRBSI during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, CRBSI now returned to that observed in the pre-pandemic era" Schmidt-Hieber et al (2025).
"VAST presence was associated with greater use of escalation pathways and varied device type/technique such as ultrasound guided-PIVCs and midlines. However, limited staffing restricts the broader implementation of these benefits" Marsh et al (2026).
