"Daily bathing with chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) has demonstrated efficacy in reducing skin colonization by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), yet compliance remains suboptimal in many settings" Barman et al (2026).
"This study explored how nurses trained in midline catheter insertion describe their emotional experiences during the procedure, and how these emotions emerge as they recount their technical actions and interactions with patients" Guillouët et al (2026).
"The catheter gauge and length are often chosen based on visual estimation. Ultrasound allows for the direct measurement of vessel diameter and depth, which may reduce failed attempts, particularly in patients with difficult access and pediatric patients" Linares and Lopes (2026).
"It is important to have efficient planning for outpatient chemotherapy to optimize the utilization of resources while maintaining the optimal quality of care services" Bazrafshan et al (2026).
"The aim of this study was to identify independent risk factors for CABSIs and to develop and validate a predictive model for CABSIs in patients with midline catheters, centrally inserted central catheters (CICCs), and peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs)" Lafuente-Cabrero et al (2026).
"This quality improvement initiative significantly improved appropriateness and timeliness of antibiotic delivery in children with PIF presenting with suspected CLABSI through multidisciplinary interventions targeting provider awareness, process standardization, and system-level barriers" Meenan et al (2026).
"This study described a quality improvement initiative aimed at increasing the rate of ultrasound documentation of correct guidewire position before vessel dilation during CVC insertions" Biniazan et al (2026).
"Insourcing dialysis with the Tablo Hemodialysis System at a regional hospital markedly improved multiple clinical and financial metrics with high staff and patient satisfaction" McGill et al (2026).
"PICC complications include secondary migration - reported in 4-12% of cases - which may lead to severe infections. In this case, secondary migration likely caused abscess formation, despite correct initial placement" Hemmati et al (2026).
"The study demonstrates high CLABSI incidence and alarming levels of AMR, underscoring the urgent need for strengthening infection prevention practices and antimicrobial stewardship in ICUs" Anand et al (2026).
"These findings support ultrasound-guided SVC-RAJ positioning as a clinically relevant strategy for reducing CRT risk and maintaining reliable venous access in contemporary oncology care pathways" Ling et al (2026).
"While patients found the video beneficial, future research that includes more diverse patient populations is needed to better understand the long-term impact of a CHG skin treatment educational video" Reynolds et al (2026).
