New Open Access publication on the Pharmacological burden and chemical phlebitis associated with peripheral venous catheters: A nested case-control study. Results of the national Flebitis…
"SC hydration has many advantages and few disadvantages for those with mild-to-moderate dehydration and cognitive impairment who need parenteral hydration. It should, in our opinion, always be considered in this population. It is important, however, that ease of use does not lead to overuse, especially where low-intake dehydration may represent part of the natural course of advanced illness" Danielsen et al (2026).
"We describe a simple securing suture designed to prevent the accidental dislodgement of long-term, Dacron-cuffed tunneled central venous catheters during the interval before fibrous ingrowth fixes the cuff" Oh et al (2026).
"Available evidence suggests substantial variability in thrombosis incidence across catheter types, with generally higher rates observed in PICCs compared with implantable ports" Kania et al (2026).
"It was the aim of this study to compare the force required to dislodge a PIVC with four different methods of securing PIVCs used in emergency medicine. In addition, the costs were calculated" Vogeler et al (2026).
"This review highlights variation in the strength and directness of evidence underpinning AC guideline recommendations, particularly in areas of AC management. Careful consideration of indication, avoidance of unnecessary insertion, and timely removal remain important strategies to minimise AC-associated harm" Pearse et al (2026).
"We evaluated the pharmacokinetics of continuous infusion piperacillin/tazobactam (16 g/2 g daily) in a 13-year-old male with situs inversus and chronic otitis media transitioned from hospital-based electronic infusion to home-based Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT) using elastomeric pumps" Mariani et al (2026).
"In-plane (IP) ultrasound-guided venipuncture is widely used for its recognized advantages, including improved needle tip identification and a shallower puncture angle, which enhances echogenicity, reduces posterior wall injury, and facilitates guidewire insertion" Bianchini and Zangheri (2026).
"To assess current pregame (PIVFH) and halftime intravenous fluid hyperhydration (HIVFH) practices, protocols, indications, complications, and perceived efficacy in National Collegiate Athletic Association Football Bowl Subdivision (NCAA-FBS) football players" Schultz et al (2026).
"Currently, investigations specifically predicting the risk of arm port-related complications in gynecological oncology patients are limited. The advances of precision medicine warrant the development of individualized risk prediction tools to optimize clinical decision-making" Su et al (2026).
"To study whether intravenous antibiotics are being used in HS treatment in the UK and to explore the experiences of dermatologists and outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) teams with intravenous antibiotics" Lam et al (2026).
"Formal imaging later that same day showed axillary thrombosis, and contrast CT of the neck and chest revealed bilateral internal jugular thrombosis, chronic left brachiocephalic thrombosis, suspected acute-on-chronic central venous thrombosis of the left upper extremity, and possible extension into the right transverse sinus" Magee et al (2026).
