"The prevalence of drugs with a high risk of phlebitis in intensive care units is elevated. Drug physicochemical properties significantly influence the risk of phlebitis and should be incorporated into bedside vascular-access selection" Gallardo et al (2026).
"his systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis synthesized available evidence by comparing different CLs directly and indirectly to prevent CLABSI and rank their effectiveness" Liu et al (2026).
"A surveillance program is recommended to monitor outcomes and compliance with bundles. Ongoing review of the performance data with appropriate interventions made should facilitate efforts towards zero CLABSI rate" Ling et al (2026).
"OPAT proved to be an effective and safe strategy for managing Gram-negative infections in immunocompromised patients. Close clinical and laboratory monitoring contributed to favorable outcomes. Further studies are needed to optimize OPAT protocols in this population" Passerotto et al (2026).
"A large healthcare system launched a quality improvement initiative to reduce pump alarms and minimize residual volume by implementing customized tubing solutions" Pouliot et al (2026).
"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).
