"This prospective, two-arm, single-centre, non-blinded, pragmatic randomised controlled trial will compare two types of long peripheral catheters. A 63 mm ultra-long peripheral catheter using the catheter-over-needle approach will be compared with an 80-100 mm accelerated Seldinger technique-long peripheral catheter, which is the standard of care" Pieteraerens et al (2026).
"In this case report, we describe a 14-year-old boy who developed calcinosis cutis due to extravasation of calcium gluconate, resulting in extensive tissue necrosis" Abtahi-Naeini et al (2026).
"Taurolidine and EDTA locks are similarly effective in preventing infections and equally likely to be associated with occlusion or breakage. Both are suitable for children with IF on long-term PN" Ahisar et al (2026).
"Totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAPs) have been proven to be safe and effective and are commonly used in cancer patients. Here, we introduce the entire procedure of CT-guided implantation of a TIVAP through the subclavian vein" Chen et al (2026).
"Parenteral administration routes, however, have been found to be prone to errors. According to previous studies, standardising the compositions of parenteral mixtures can improve medication safety" Niittynen et al (2025).
New publication on the Effect of preoperative prolonged occlusion flow-mediated dilation on radial artery cannulation: A prospective randomized controlled trail from the Journal of Vascular…
"The purpose of this evidence-based practice initiative was to determine whether locking TIVADs with normal saline alone during a 90-day maintenance flushing protocol resulted in an increase in partial occlusions" Ramsey et al (2026).
"Infusion pumps are designed to alarm when air in the IV line (AIL) reaches a set threshold and can result in disruptions in drug delivery and decreased nursing productivity. Depending on the method employed, removal of AIL can also pose a risk to healthcare workers and patients" Eisenberg and Trick (2026).
"This study aimed to explore this correlation at baseline and in various clinical scenarios (e.g., different heart rates, arrhythmias, asystolic arrest, and CPR)" Reifart et al (2026).
"Although successful in inpatient settings, the effectiveness of fall prevention programs in the outpatient oncology setting requires additional study because of their unique nature and quality and safety concerns" Quinn and Miaskowski (2026).
"Fluoroscopy overestimates the cavoatrial junction position. Given that right atrium placement reduces intrathoracic central venous stenosis risk, advancing the catheter tip 10-30 mm beyond fluoroscopically guided landmarks constitutes a key maneuver for achieving accurate positioning" Yu et al (2026).
"This review highlights the need for well-designed studies to determine the clinical effectiveness of antimicrobial locks for primary and secondary CLABSI prevention in specific pediatric populations and to determine whether there is differential impact by lock type" L'Etoile et al (2026).
