"The objective of this paper is to compare outcomes for patients treated with healthcare administered Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (H-OPAT) versus S-OPAT (self-administered antibiotics) for the treatment of foot osteomyelitis" Tarricone et al (2026).
"Virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a non-pharmacological intervention capable of modulating attentional and emotional responses during medical procedures; however, evidence in adult oncology patients undergoing vascular access placement remains scarce" Camuccio et al (2026).
"Tunneled PICC offers significant advantages in reducing complications and improving perioperative performance. These findings suggest that tunneled PICC may be a valuable option for cancer patients" Ren et al (2026).
"Neonatal care has advanced rapidly in scientific knowledge, technology and precision over recent decades. Yet daily bedside practice does not always reflect this trajectory. The reasons are complex and multifactorial, but include resistance to change by practitioners and their organisations" van Rens et al (2026).
New Open Access publication on the Pharmacological burden and chemical phlebitis associated with peripheral venous catheters: A nested case-control study. Results of the national Flebitis…
"SC hydration has many advantages and few disadvantages for those with mild-to-moderate dehydration and cognitive impairment who need parenteral hydration. It should, in our opinion, always be considered in this population. It is important, however, that ease of use does not lead to overuse, especially where low-intake dehydration may represent part of the natural course of advanced illness" Danielsen et al (2026).
"We describe a simple securing suture designed to prevent the accidental dislodgement of long-term, Dacron-cuffed tunneled central venous catheters during the interval before fibrous ingrowth fixes the cuff" Oh et al (2026).
"Available evidence suggests substantial variability in thrombosis incidence across catheter types, with generally higher rates observed in PICCs compared with implantable ports" Kania et al (2026).
"It was the aim of this study to compare the force required to dislodge a PIVC with four different methods of securing PIVCs used in emergency medicine. In addition, the costs were calculated" Vogeler et al (2026).
"This review highlights variation in the strength and directness of evidence underpinning AC guideline recommendations, particularly in areas of AC management. Careful consideration of indication, avoidance of unnecessary insertion, and timely removal remain important strategies to minimise AC-associated harm" Pearse et al (2026).
"We evaluated the pharmacokinetics of continuous infusion piperacillin/tazobactam (16 g/2 g daily) in a 13-year-old male with situs inversus and chronic otitis media transitioned from hospital-based electronic infusion to home-based Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT) using elastomeric pumps" Mariani et al (2026).
"In-plane (IP) ultrasound-guided venipuncture is widely used for its recognized advantages, including improved needle tip identification and a shallower puncture angle, which enhances echogenicity, reduces posterior wall injury, and facilitates guidewire insertion" Bianchini and Zangheri (2026).
