"A national OPAT SSTI pathway has been successfully developed and rolled out across approximately 91% of the adult population in Scotland, including remote and rural areas. Further work to evaluate use and wider rollout is ongoing" Seaton et al (2026).
"The findings of this study suggest that the use of transillumination devices has the potential to reduce the total number of PIVC-related complications, reduce perceived pain levels, and reduce the procedural time required for intravenous access" Gümüş et al (2026).
"This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy and safety of taurolidine lock solutions in preventing catheter-related bloodstream infections in pediatric patients with central venous access devices" Qin et al (2026).
"This study evaluated the effects of quick response (QR) code-based video education on caregivers' knowledge and attitudes regarding peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) maintenance in hospitalized children and on PIVC-related outcomes" Been and Kim (2026).
"Longer PN duration was associated with IFALD and CRBSI, although the IFALD association should be interpreted cautiously because PN duration contributes to its operational definition" Zekovic et al (2026).
"FS is a common but asymptomatic ultrasound finding in cancer patients with PICCs. CRT is less frequent but clinically significant" Nunziata et al (2026).
"These efforts led to sustained reductions in standardized infection ratio rates for both CAUTIs and CLABSIs, demonstrating how operational excellence and nursing leadership can improve patient safety and clinical outcomes" Monack et al (2026).
"The incidence of PICC-related complications was 15.47% (1133/7321), among which catheter dislodgement was the most common (4.69%), followed by catheter occlusions (3.73%), and CASIs (3.25%)" Li et al (2026).
"Among Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters successfully inserted, tip confirmation via chest X-ray and catheter-to-vessel ratio between 31%-40% were associated with thrombosis, whereas Sherlock™ confirmation was protective" Saba and Barbosa (2026).
"A nurse-led PICC insertion pathway embedded within a VAT can be implemented safely and effectively in Poland. High procedural success, sustained catheter patency, and frequent avoidance of planned CICC placement indicate potential clinical and organizational benefits"
"LPCs and MCs allowed completion of intravenous therapy in most pediatric patients. Thrombosis was the most clinically relevant complication. Larger studies are needed to identify predictors of catheter failure and thrombosis" Adalia Rodríguez et al (2026).
"Most reported cases of CLABSI did not meet the CNISP definition, which underscores the need for standardized interpretation of criteria and education" Kanji et al (2026).
