"These findings suggest that while patients generally perceive home treatment as beneficial, the intravenous route remains a significant barrier and may be a suitable option only for selected HAE patients" Bara et al (2026).
"IJV access remains preferred; when IJV is unavailable, femoral TCC placement may be an acceptable alternative from an infection-risk perspective, but this must be weighed against thrombotic and limb complications, including deep vein thrombosis, which were not systematically ascertained in this study" Bay et al (2026).
"Implementation of daily CHG bathing for high-risk patients across a decentralized, Appalachian healthcare system was associated with reductions in CLABSI as well as MRSA bacteremia" Ratliff et al (2026).

"These efforts led to sustained reductions in standardized infection ratio rates for both CAUTIs and CLABSIs, demonstrating how operational excellence and nursing leadership can improve patient safety and clinical outcomes" Monack et al (2026).
"The incidence of PICC-related complications was 15.47% (1133/7321), among which catheter dislodgement was the most common (4.69%), followed by catheter occlusions (3.73%), and CASIs (3.25%)" Li et al (2026).
