Hypertonic saline administration through midline catheters

"Results showed minor adverse events suggesting that MC may be a safe alternative for the administration of long-term HTS infusions. Midline catheters should be considered when weighing risk and benefits of HTS administration in the management of elevated intracranial pressure and severe hyponatremia" Kundu et al (2026).

Implantable port maintenance interval

"A 24-week TIVAP maintenance interval after completion of intravenous therapy appeared feasible and safe in this real-world cohort, with no infections and excellent port survival" Pina-Cabral et al (2026).

Reducing NICU CLABSI rates

"Reduction of CLABSI rates is a top priority for Level IV NICUs due to the significant short- and long-term impacts for patients. Benchmarking with other NICUs is a valuable practice when neonatal-specific research is unavailable" Velasco et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Long-term tunnelled haemodialysis catheter outcomes

"The rates of tunnelled haemodialysis catheter failure have fallen significantly over the past 25 years. Improvements in catheter outcomes underscore the contemporary importance of an individualised approach to dialysis access" Yaxley et al (2026).

OPAT for pediatric patients – Full Text

"This systematic review advances current knowledge by synthesising available evidence on paediatric OPAT program organisation, clinical outcomes, and safety, and by identifying key gaps to inform future program development and standardisation" Ciudad-Gutiérrez et al (2026).

Vascular access in traumatic hemorrhagic shock – Full Text

"While IO access enables rapid vascular access for resuscitation and reduces critical intervention time, despite its procedural efficiency in rapid vascular access for resuscitation, IO may inadvertently aggravate systemic inflammatory dysregulation, impair hematopoietic function, and worsen coagulation-metabolic disturbances through mechanisms such as mechanical stimulation, hypothermic fluid infusion, and oxidative stress" Deng et al (2026).

CRBSI in hospitalized hemodialysis patients – Full Text

"In catheter-dependent HD patients, Staphylococcus aureus is the predominant organism associated with both CRBSI and IE. With an observed IE occurring in 9.4% hospitalized catheter-dependent HD patients with CRBSI, consistent compliance with prevention bundles must be prioritized as a standard of care for catheter management" Bora et al (2026).
