Postoperative complications of arm ports – Full Text

"Currently, investigations specifically predicting the risk of arm port-related complications in gynecological oncology patients are limited. The advances of precision medicine warrant the development of individualized risk prediction tools to optimize clinical decision-making" Su et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Dermatology and OPAT survey – Full Text

"To study whether intravenous antibiotics are being used in HS treatment in the UK and to explore the experiences of dermatologists and outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) teams with intravenous antibiotics" Lam et al (2026).

Central venous thrombosis missed by point-of-care ultrasound – Full Text

"Formal imaging later that same day showed axillary thrombosis, and contrast CT of the neck and chest revealed bilateral internal jugular thrombosis, chronic left brachiocephalic thrombosis, suspected acute-on-chronic central venous thrombosis of the left upper extremity, and possible extension into the right transverse sinus" Magee et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Real-time detection of extravasation events – Full Text

"A real-time, detector-based strategy can identify radiopharmaceutical extravasation during injection, support immediate mitigation, and preserve diagnostic accuracy by allowing early SUV correction" Cucurachi et al (2026).

Multimodal CLABSI prevention – Full Text

"A staged, multimodal intervention was associated with a significant decreasing trend in CLABSI incidence over time, suggesting a potential benefit of comprehensive infection prevention strategies in ICU settings" Chung et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Residual deposits in implanted intravenous ports – Full Text

"These findings suggest a link between flow dynamics and deposit accumulation, indicating that revisions to nursing guidelines-including standardized insertion, increased flushing volumes, and simulation-based competency training-may help support improved port function and potentially lower complication risks" Fu et al (2026).
