Video assisted instruction on central venous catheter care – Full Text

"Video-assisted teaching may improve psychomotor skills in CVC care; however, its effects on anxiety reduction and student satisfaction remain inconclusive. Integrating video-assisted methods with other strategies may enhance both skill acquisition and emotional well-being in nursing education" Koç et al (2026).

Hypodermoclysis for hydrating children with difficult venous access

"Hypodermoclysis appears to be a safe, effective, and well-accepted option for pediatric dehydration. Its incorporation into pediatric clinical protocols may reduce the need for repeated venipuncture and associated distress, thereby improving patient comfort and family satisfaction" Silva et al (2026).

Clinically indicated versus routine replacement of peripheral intravenous cannulas

"In elderly patients, clinically indicated PIVCs removal was associated with significantly prolonged catheter dwell time but an increased risk of all-cause PIVCs failure. Vigilant monitoring for occlusion is particularly recommended during the first 96 hours of catheter retention in this population" Jiang et al (2026).

Hypodermoclysis utilization in long-term care

"Findings reveal heterogeneous use of hypodermoclysis in LTC, often at low volumes and over prolonged periods. Given the association between staffing levels and hypodermoclysis use, strengthened interprofessional engagement and collaboration may be needed to optimize hydration practices" Deniau et al (2026).

Paediatric drug product information review

"This study aims to improve the quality and completeness of the information provided by the SmPC for products with paediatric authorisation and to create greater awareness from both regulatory authority and market authorisation holders" Higi et al (2026).

Interventional radiology for human spaceflight

"These findings support the feasibility of image-guided drainage, decompression, and vascular access as candidate strategies for managing acute conditions encountered during exploration missions" Schutt et al (2026).

Impact of catheter design on hemodialysis catheter lock therapy

"This review argues that the biological effect ultimately achieved within the catheter may also be shaped by catheter architecture and lock-handling variables, including tip design, side-hole geometry, true luminal volume, fill ratio, lock density, interdialytic dwell, and aspiration practice" Corrêa et al (2026).
