"Metastatic complications occurred in approximately 9% of CRBSI episodes but were strongly associated with persistent bacteremia, particularly in S. aureus infections" Lanyan et al (2026).
"The high frequency of incompatibilities observed is related to the large number of intravenous medications and the complexity of therapeutic regimens used in intensive care. Bedside pharmacist involvement proved feasible and contributed to safer medication administration practices in these units" de Souza et al (2026).
"A hybrid approach combining pseudo-tunnelling with an additional anterograde subcutaneous tract allowed placement of a double-lumen 5-Fr PICC with the exit site relocated to the mid-upper arm" Salinaro et al (2026).
"We used very-high-sensitivity infrared thermography to observe the puncture site in real time during radiopharmaceutical injection for bone scintigraphy and evaluated superficial vein visualization and the potential for extravasation monitoring" Kageyama et al (2026).
"This case highlights the aggressive progression and high mortality associated with S. aureus CRBSI complicated by hematogenous meningitis in immunocompromised patients and illustrates the importance of early recognition, prompt microbiological diagnosis, immediate source control, and vigilant clinical monitoring following catheter placement" Benoumrhar et al (2026).
"During 2024-2025, PICC placement shifted from the basilic vein to the median cubital vein, reflecting a notable change in real-world practice. Although the subgroup differences in catheter length and arm circumference were statistically significant, the clinical significance was limited" Xie et al (2026).
"Gelatin-based models are low-cost, accessible, and well accepted as tools for ultrasound-guided vascular access training. They may help skill acquisition and confidence, even among clinicians with previous experience, and are particularly suited for use in resource-limited settings" Ferreira et al (2026).
"Several parameters related to vascular morphology and procedural factors have a significant impact on the risk of CRT. The nomogram proposed here is a practical tool that can be used for individualized assessment of CRT, enabling optimized catheter management strategies" Wang et al (2026).
"We aimed to investigate the incidences of catheter-related bloodstream infection, infective endocarditis, and vertebral osteomyelitis in type 3 intestinal failure patients" Boltz-Jensen et al (2026).
"Improving CLABSI prevention may require multilevel strategies that combine targeted education and training, adequate resource allocation, leadership engagement, standardized clinical procedures, and ongoing audit and feedback" Shi et al (2026).
"The Tomazoni method offers a reproducible, low-cost measurement strategy that can be implemented in neonatal intensive care units to improve catheter positioning accuracy and reduce procedure-related manipulations, with potential implications for patient safety" Regne et al (2026).
"Clinicians should be vigilant for risks associated with CoNS CRBSI. Future prospective studies evaluating the implications of clinical decision-making in these infections are needed" Biggs et al (2026).
