"In 2022, the initiative expanded through collaboration with regional nursing schools to integrate the Association for Vascular Access (AVA) peripheral intravenous (PIV) curriculum, establishing a sustainable educational pipeline for future clinicians" Lindell (2026).
"This retrospective study demonstrated that small improvements to controllable elements of catheter care in a broad patient population can result in significant reductions in the risk of CAT and associated costs" Zazyczny et al (2026).
"The HIT-QAT is a feasible, practical, and efficient electronic tool for hospital-wide intravenous therapy quality assessment" Lu et al (2026).
"Recently, a new device tip position (midclavicular) has been recognised. This service improvement project aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of placing a catheter in this position" Phelps (2025).
"The portable ultrasound system was associated with high first-attempt insertion success and high vascular visualization for peripheral intravenous access with no adverse events. The portable ultrasound system can be successfully used for bedside vascular access in a real-world environment" Kessel et al (2026).
"Resuscitation is initiated with fluids and vasopressors, and a central venous catheter is placed. However, during the procedure, the guide experiences resistance and cannot be removed, becoming trapped" Valencia González et al (2026).
"In conclusion, shortening the CVC dwell time in men by 2 or 3 days, corresponding to a CVC duration of 10-11 days, reduces the CRBSI rate in men and mitigates the higher risk, compared to women" Kriege et al (2026).
"Off label use of PICCs as tnc-CICCs seems safe and effective. It provides an alternative to PICCs in oncology patients at high risk of thrombosis, even when placed by operators with low experience levels" Douchy et al (2026).
New Open Access publication on Inadvertent guidewire retention after radial artery cannulation: report of two cases and safety lessons for vascular access practice from the…
"Arterial catheters demonstrate an ongoing risk of contamination throughout their lifespan, from insertion to removal. A comprehensive prevention strategy should address the entire arterial catheter lifecycle and is most effective when implemented as a bundled approach" Donner et al (2026).
"The distal medial thigh GSV can be reliably visualized using ultrasound across pediatric and adult populations, including those with prior difficult intravenous access" Saadi Neto et al (2026).
"This review identifies a critical gap in the literature: few studies examine CLABSI prevention from the perspective of healthcare providers in LMIC ICUs. Addressing the interconnected HCP, system, and resource-related barriers identified in this review is essential for developing effective, context-appropriate infection prevention strategies" Essani et al (2026).
