Developing CLABSI prevention bundles further

"While traditional prevention bundle elements play an essential role in CLABSI prevention efforts, pediatric patients with cancer or undergoing HSCT may require additional targeted strategies to achieve desired results" Bibart et al (2025).

Guidelines for the management of central venous catheter-related thrombosis

"Numerous international clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have been developed to address the prevention, diagnosis, and management of CVC-related thrombosis. This critical review aims to evaluate and compare the recommendations provided by these guidelines, highlighting areas of consensus, variation, and potential gaps" Rosson et al (2025).

Jugular central line insertion in infants – Full Text

"The aim of this study was to compare three approaches: open technique, SELDINGER'S technique with surgical isolation of the vein, and percutaneous ultrasound-guided CICC insertion for central line insertion in infancy as regards safety, success of cannulation, technique time, and preservation of the patency of the internal jugular vein (IJV)" Salah Eldin et al (2025).

Infusion pump operation during flight

"An in vitro study of six volumetric pumps and eight syringe drivers was conducted in a hypobaric chamber to mimic pressure changes during flights" Fan et al (2025).

MARSI in oncology and haematology patients with PICC

"To determine the prevalence of MARSI associated with peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICCs) in oncology and haematology patients, analyse the type of injury and identify risk factors" Zaballa Canive et al (2025).

CLABSI reduction in PICU

"We aimed to study the impact of certain quality improvement (QI) initiatives in reducing these infections from baseline rate of 10.5 per 1000 central line days" Kaur et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Simplify the IV medication administration process and reduce CLABSI rates

"Though not statistically significant, the findings suggest that the added complexity and extended duration of the modified IV pump integration process may have increased the frequency of caregiver interactions with the NICU environment, exposing immune-vulnerable NICU patients to a higher risk of infection" Nolan et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Advancement of nurses in vascular access care

"Although vascular access care is crucial, its quality is often unsatisfactory due to the diversity of procedures, technologies, and the need to adapt to each patient. Despite numerous improvement interventions, high complication rates and suboptimal use of these vascular devices persist" Castro-Sánchez et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Standardized central line bundle for use in clinical trials – Full Text

"We propose a standardized central line bundle for mandatory use in clinical trials. This will help reduce variability in baseline CLABSI rates across study centers, enabling a more accurate evaluation of the benefit-risk profile of experimental therapies-especially those requiring administration via central venous catheters" Manzoni et al (2025).
