A new publication on the Comparative safety of PICC-ports and chest ports in oncology: A monocentric retrospective cohort study from the Journal of Vascular Access…
"Non-tunneled, non-implanted centrally inserted CVCs (CICCs) offer bedside insertion; however, evidence on their long-term safety in home care remains limited" Oniwa et al (2026).
"Essential oil aromatherapy may effectively reduce reported anxiety scores among younger patients, though this study was underpowered due to its small sample size, and further research is needed to determine the extent of its efficacy" Nolen et al (2026).
"A porcine tissue-based ultrasound-capable simulator may be a feasible and accessible tool for early ultrasound-guided PICC training and was associated with better early performance in selected probe-handling and puncture behaviors during the first clinical case after training" Deng et al (2026).
"In critically ill adults, brachial arterial catheter insertion was associated with fewer complications, although it showed a higher risk of post-insertion hematoma. Radial insertion was associated with increased vasospasm" Narváez-Martínez et al (2026).
"The identified predictors may help nurses recognize patients at higher risk of PICC-related CASI and support more structured skin assessment during PICC care" Jin et al (2026).
"Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) tip positioning is a technically mature field characterized by heterogeneous evidence. International consensus guidelines consistently recommend bedside intracavitary electrocardiography (IC-ECG) and ultrasound-based strategies as first-line methods, with fluoroscopy reserved for specific indications" Shu and Li (2026).
"Dressing-change practices were consistent, with all centers reporting changes every 7 days or sooner when dressing integrity was compromised. Cap-change intervals varied from daily to every 7 days. Dressing changes required a mean of 16.5 min and cost $55.25 in labor and supplies. Cap changes cost $24.08, and daily flushing cost $13.70" Maier et al (2026).
"This case highlights key challenges in combined chemotherapy regimens, where identification of the causative agent may be uncertain and management strategies differ substantially" Jiménez-Heredia et al (2026).
"This is the main take-away point from the Early Versus Deferred Arterial Catheterization in Critically Ill Patients With Acute Circulatory Failure (EVERDAC) trial, which found that slightly fewer patients died in a group randomly assigned to not have an arterial catheter inserted unless it was truly needed, compared with putting one in immediately" Ho (2026).
"Consistent use of evidence-based intramuscular injection practices can reduce procedural risk, enhance safety, minimize pain, and support positive early health care experiences for infants and families" Van Curen and Rohan (2026).
"When conservative measures failed, we implemented a novel double-draw technique in which a second draw line was connected via a four-way stopcock and male-to-male adapter to the initial draw access (either a PIVC or port) to improve inlet flow" Sanchez et al (2026).
