"Infection rates dropped significantly post-intervention, achieving zero in one of the latest periods: continuous monitoring, staff training, and targeted interventions were pivotal" Sala et al (2025).
"We present a method that makes the incision before vein puncture for guidewire and dilator insertion in TIVAD placement. This method may result in less bleeding and improved appearance for patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancer" Fang et al (2025).
"Targeted educational interventions achieved significant improvements in doctors' knowledge and awareness of NSI prevention and management. The audit underscores the importance of recurrent training, safe sharps disposal practices, and supportive reporting systems" Ahmed Abdalla et al (2025).
"This study aimed to evaluate a pre-post quality improvement (QI) initiative designed to optimize central venous catheter (CVC) insertion and maintenance, reducing CLABSI rates, and promoting more sustainable critical care practices in a university hospital ICU" El-Sokkary et al (2025).
"We report an elderly woman with a central venous (CV) port inserted two years earlier for long-term nutritional support after gastric cancer surgery who developed a bloodstream infection caused by M. wolinskyi" Araya et al (2025).
"Implementation of multimodal interventions is essential to decrease central line associated bloodstream infection rate in intensive care units" Elhihi et al (2025).
"Ultrasound is a highly feasible and accurate method for n-PICC tip location. Tip migration is a frequent event, particularly towards the heart in upper limbs/scalp insertions and within the first 2 h. We recommend serial ultrasound monitoring to detect tip migration and potentially reduce catheter-related complications" Grasso et al (2025).
"Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are associated with complications including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and infections. However, the risk factors for developing DVT specifically during PICC-related infections remain poorly understood" Petitgas et al (2025).
"Intravenous cannula breakage can lead to further complications including infection, migration, and subsequent embolization. Although fast identification and extraction are essential management components, there are no consensual guidelines for the proper management of this complication" Lossos et al (2025).
"Available studies on prolonged infusions of beta lactams in PICU patients are limited and of low quality. Further research is needed to assess for clinical benefits associated with prolonged beta-lactam infusions for treatment of severe infection" O'Keefe et al (2025).
New Open Access publication on The effects of a new device on mechanical complications of short peripheral intravenous catheters: A randomized controlled trial from the…
"Peripheral intravenous cannula induced complications tend to occur after a relatively prolonged dwell time. Parental education, mask use, insertion set kit, side of cannulation, cannula dressing, and blood administration were predictors for these complications" Moltot et al (2025).
