Vascular access in adults with difficult venous access – Full Text

"This off-label strategy should follow infection-prevention bundles, non-vesicant infusion limits, clear labeling, and documentation. Both single- and double-lumen pediatric CVCs may be considered where dimensional compatibility with midline specifications is ensured" Mantri et al (2025).

Epicutaneo-caval catheter occlusion in neonates – Full Text

"This study demonstrates a low rate of epicutaneo-caval catheters occlusion in neonates receiving parenteral nutrition without heparin infusion. These findings support the safety and feasibility of a heparin-free approach in neonatal central catheter management when standardized care protocols are followed" D'Andrea et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Fluid management in sepsis – Full Text

"We anticipate that SVI-guided resuscitation will reduce IV fluid volume compared to standard care. This personalized approach, tailoring fluid and vasopressor administration to the individual's hemodynamic needs, has the potential to improve outcomes for patients with sepsis" Ter Horst et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Study reviews clinical documentation associated with central venous catheter care – Full Text

"The findings emphasize the necessity of systematically addressing patients' symptoms and individual needs in the postoperative care of the central venous catheter. Incorporating these aspects as a mandatory element in the standardized documentation template within the electronic health record will constitute an important first step toward enhancing patient-centred care" Lithner et al (2025).

Mini-sternotomy for direct right atrial dialysis catheter placement – Full Text

"We report the case of a pediatric patient with kidney failure and bilateral central venous occlusion, in whom conventional dialysis access was no longer feasible. Following multidisciplinary evaluation, a dialysis catheter was surgically inserted directly into the right atrium via a lower mini-sternotomy" Nucera et al (2025).

Intracavitary ECG technology comparison – Full Text

"This study evaluates the quality of I-EKG tracings using two methods: the saline column method with the alligator clip and spindle system (Deltamed, Viadana, Italy) and the pure saline column method using the "red" connector cable (Vygon Card® Vygon, Ecouen, France) and the "yellow" connector cable (Fast Tip® ATL Milano, Assago, Italy)" Cirigliano et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Blood donor safety surveillance – Full Text

"The reported incidence rate of ADRs related to blood donation was very low. The higher prevalence of VVR and syncope in young, females, first-time donors, college students, and donating in mobile vehicles" Yang et al (2025).

Evidence-based peripheral intravenous catheter care

"A quality improvement project to standardize peripheral intravenous catheter insertion, maintenance, and documentation was implemented with the goal of aligning with professional standards for peripheral intravenous catheter removal as clinically indicated" Coleman et al (2025).
