"Sodium bicarbonate combined with urokinase within a standardized dwell-and-aspiration protocol may be associated with lower observed rates of CVC dysfunction, fewer dysfunction-related events, a higher observed rate of single-procedure patency restoration, and a comparable safety profile" Lin et al (2026).
"High pain during PIVC insertion is common and associated with repeated attempts. Optimising the first attempt-and employing strategies shown to mitigate pain are recommended, particularly in younger children and/or those with prior negative experiences" Sweeny et al (2027).
"The proposed simulation model closely resembled the scenario of central venous puncture in human tissue and represented an effective and accessible tool for teaching ultrasound-guided vascular puncture techniques" Kraft et al (2026).
"The objective of this review is to systematically review the association between umbilical venous catheter (UVC) tip position and the risk of catheter-related complications in neonates" McCord et al (2026).
"We report a critically ill patient in whom PLSVC was identified after left internal jugular central venous catheter placement" Navid et al (2026).
"USPIV can be a successful vascular access for ED patients. Further research remains necessary to determine ways to predict and minimize USPIV failure. Increasing vessel depth, resident operator placement, hypotension, and a history of IV drug use were associated with decreased USPIV survival at 72 h" Patten et al (2026).
"In certain populations, particularly those with short bowel syndrome or with intestinal failure, preservation of vascular access is critical, as progressive loss of central venous access remains a major indication for intestinal transplantation and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality" Ian et al (2026).
"As this is an iatrogenic event, development of standardized practice guidelines for IM injections in premature infants is recommended, especially in the extremely preterm and low birth-weight population" Miller et al (2026).
"In this single-center matched cohort, no statistically significant differences in symptomatic DVT or CLABSI were observed between PICCs and CVCs" Wu et al (2026).
"By incorporating ultrasound as an extension of bedside vascular assessment, this protocol aims to reduce mechanical complications, minimize multiple puncture attempts, and improve procedural accuracy. This standardized approach promotes patient safety, reduces variability in clinical practice, and supports the implementation of ultrasound-guided PICC placement as an advanced, evidence-based nursing intervention across diverse healthcare settings" Oda et al (2026).
"Anthropometric parameter-based prediction formulas provide precise guidance for lower extremity PICC placement in VLBWI, enhancing placement success and safety" Li et al (2026).
"This case demonstrates the feasibility of stepwise dual-access endovascular techniques for retrieval of complex embolized PICC fragments from the pulmonary circulation, particularly in resource-constrained settings" Hassanali et al (2026).
