Factors associated with survival of ultrasound-guided peripheral IV catheters

"USPIV can be a successful vascular access for ED patients. Further research remains necessary to determine ways to predict and minimize USPIV failure. Increasing vessel depth, resident operator placement, hypotension, and a history of IV drug use were associated with decreased USPIV survival at 72 h" Patten et al (2026).

Vascular preservation for long-term central venous access in infants

"In certain populations, particularly those with short bowel syndrome or with intestinal failure, preservation of vascular access is critical, as progressive loss of central venous access remains a major indication for intestinal transplantation and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality" Ian et al (2026).

Dermatologic reaction following intramuscular injection

"As this is an iatrogenic event, development of standardized practice guidelines for IM injections in premature infants is recommended, especially in the extremely preterm and low birth-weight population" Miller et al (2026).

Nurse-performed ultrasound-guided PICC insertion – Full Text

"By incorporating ultrasound as an extension of bedside vascular assessment, this protocol aims to reduce mechanical complications, minimize multiple puncture attempts, and improve procedural accuracy. This standardized approach promotes patient safety, reduces variability in clinical practice, and supports the implementation of ultrasound-guided PICC placement as an advanced, evidence-based nursing intervention across diverse healthcare settings" Oda et al (2026).

Endovascular retrieval of a fractured PICC – Full Text

"This case demonstrates the feasibility of stepwise dual-access endovascular techniques for retrieval of complex embolized PICC fragments from the pulmonary circulation, particularly in resource-constrained settings" Hassanali et al (2026).

Effect of StatSeal on the frequency of IV dressing changes

"This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a topical hemostatic product (StatSeal®, Biolife, LLC, Sarasota, Fl) on the frequency of dressing changes and catheter-associated complications following PICC insertion" Levit et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Gentamicin lock therapy and duration

"This study compared catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) outcomes and duration-modifying effects between gentamicin-heparin and heparin-only lock protocols" Tsai et al (20260.
