"To construct and validate the content of a scale for assessing the risk of phlebitis in hospitalized adult patients using peripheral intravenous therapy" Furlan and Lima (2026).
"To explore global practices in vascular device selection, securement, and monitoring for extremely preterm infants, and to assess regional variation" Mishra et al (2026).
"The one-step sheath insertion technique did not demonstrate non-inferiority to the conventional two-step technique for first-attempt sheath insertion success. Although less severe intraoperative puncture-site bleeding was observed with the one-step technique, this secondary finding should be interpreted cautiously" Xu et al (2026).
"Cardiac arrhythmias are a recognised complication of central venous catheterisation and are usually attributed to mechanical irritation of the endocardium by the guidewire or catheter tip" Bhagoutie et al (2026).

"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).
