"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).
"This study addresses uncertainty about catheter outcomes under different flushing strategies in standardized nursing care. The main finding was uniformly low complication rates across groups. The findings may inform oncology nursing practice, catheter care standardization, and future trial design" Campêlo et al (2026).
"This study evaluated the effectiveness of a structured training program on port catheter care on nurses' knowledge and knowledge retention" Temel and Güçlüel (2026).
"A nurse-led, multidisciplinary approach combining PN stewardship, standardized CVAD care, and real-time feedback improved patient safety and reduced CLABSI risk. The model offers a sustainable, replicable strategy for infection prevention" Antolino-Resnick et al (2026).
"We retrospectively evaluated outcomes after upper-arm port implantation under a restrictive platelet transfusion strategy, with prophylactic platelet transfusion only given at counts < 20 × 109/L" Okada et al (2026).
