Peripheral IV catheter flow rates

"This study evaluated flow rates across various catheter connection adjuncts to identify optimal devices for resuscitation efficacy" Ferguson et al (2026).

Umbilical artery catheter placement – Full Text

"Umbilical arterial catheterisation is a routine procedure in neonatal intensive care units but is associated with thrombotic and other complications. This study evaluated the safety of an innovative ultralow umbilical artery catheter (UL-UAC) positioning technique in a cohort of 235 neonates" Tomaszkiewicz et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Use of midline catheters in a paediatric intensive care unit

"Clinical utilisation of midlines across implementation phases did not increase overall vascular access harm. The decrease in midline catheter device selection post-implementation highlights the need for sustained strategies" Weber et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Intravenous adrenaline use in the critical care setting

"This review synthesises contemporary evidence surrounding adrenaline's physiological and pharmacological profile, highlighting its role in cardiac arrest, perioperative medicine, sepsis, toxidromes, and specific contraindicated states" Bright et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Reconstitution of poorly soluble drugs – Full Text

"Optimal selection of the variety of solvents, the volume of the initial solvent, and the oscillation time in preparing poorly soluble antibiotics can improve the quality of the intravenous infusion" Jiang et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Complications of port-a-cath systems – Full Text

"PCSs are generally safe in oncology patients; infections and thrombosis predominate as PCS-related complications, but rarely require removal, and standardized care enables long-term use, improving patient quality of life" Nemeș et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Medication errors involving parenteral nutrition – Full Text

"Parenteral nutrition and concentrated electrolytes are associated with medication errors in pediatrics; however, a systems-based understanding of these errors is lacking. We aimed to describe the errors, contributing factors, and proposed defenses related to these medications in pediatrics" Tuomisto et al (2026).

IVTEAM

CLABSI rates in patients with chronic intestinal failure – Full Text

"The incidence rate of CLABSI was lower than reported in other studies in upper-middle-income countries. Depression and the presence of intestinal stomas may be associated with a higher risk of CLABSI, possibly through their impact on self-care and stress-inflammation pathways" González-Salazar et al (2026).
