Impact of catheter design on hemodialysis catheter lock therapy

"This review argues that the biological effect ultimately achieved within the catheter may also be shaped by catheter architecture and lock-handling variables, including tip design, side-hole geometry, true luminal volume, fill ratio, lock density, interdialytic dwell, and aspiration practice" Corrêa et al (2026).

Review of vasoactive agent infusion via peripheral routes – Full Text

"Implementing a standardized protocol to ensure the appropriate size and placement of PVC, optimizing the dosage and duration of vasopressors, and establishing vigilant nursing monitoring can facilitate the safe administration of vasopressors via PVC, with substantial implications for the early management of shock, particularly in resource-constrained settings" Singh et al (2026).

Reducing blood culture contamination in emergency departments

"Although national benchmarks recommend contamination rates of less than 3%, the Department of Veterans Affairs sets a more stringent goal of less than 1%. Many emergency departments face challenges in consistently meeting this standard. This project aimed to reduce blood culture contamination through a series of evidence-based interventions" Mikovich et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Infections associated with peripheral venous catheters

"Although less frequent than central venous catheter infections, PVC-related bloodstream infections represent an important public health concern due to their widespread use. Incidence is likely underestimated because of limited reporting and variable diagnostic criteria" Piuco Preve et al (2026).
