"Preliminary analysis showed low overall port occlusion rates, regardless of the locking solution used. A Fisher's exact test revealed no significant association between the type of locking solution and port occlusion. Interim findings suggest that when used with the pulsatile flush technique, normal saline may be as effective as heparin in maintaining port patency" Mueller et al (2025).
"The use of an 8-week educational intervention can improve critical care nurses' knowledge of management of central venous cathether management and may enhance practices, ultimately reducing venous catheter-related complications" Notshe et al (2025).
"This case report describes a unique loop-snare torque-entanglement technique for the retrieval of such a foreign body out of the pulmonary vasculature" Bellam Premnath et al (2025).
"This meta-analysis provides insights that, although battery-powered drill device showed the best outcomes, the wide confidence intervals and lack of statistically significant differences between devices highlight the need for further research with larger sample sizes and standardized safety reporting protocols, to establish conclusions regarding optimal IO device for EDs" Suman et al (2025).
"A hospital-community-family network for peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) management allows the families of children with pediatric cancer to select a PICC nursing institution based on their place of residence and healthcare coverage" Yao and Mo (2025).
"A BCx algorithm implementation in a solid-tumor oncology unit led to a substantial decrease in BCx event rates without an increase in adverse outcomes" Meraet al (2025).
"The challenges of acquired infections are one of the most important problems of patients undergoing ECMO, and of course, the approaches to its prevention are evolving" Hssain et al (2025).
"Improving adherence to hub disinfection, along with catheter care and maintenance protocols, is essential for the prevention of CRIs. Further, innovative approaches for simplifying protocols and "forcing function" may increase compliance with CRBSI prevention strategies" Gilmore et al (2025).
"For ultrasound-guided central venous cannulation the magnetic needle positioning technique is associated with higher success rate for out of plane cannulation approach and less complications in comparison to conventional ultrasound" Natalia et al (2025).
"About 36% of catheters fail before treatment completion, in part because of their insertion into veins not large enough to accommodate them. Peripheral veins, especially those in the hand and wrist, are typically narrow (1.8–2.3-mm diameter); this can be influenced by factors including previous vessel damage and sex (e.g. male veins are ∼0.5-mm greater in diameter in the hand than female veins)" Marsh et al (2025).
"We recommend that a threshold of 9.5 kg/cm2 be set for the maximum injection pressure when placing an intravenous line in the median cubital vein to efficiently reduce extravasation of the contrast media" Koori et al (2025).
"Here we report an analysis of CLABSI risk factors in patients with CV ports at our institution" Ishikawa et al (2025).
