"Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the use of infusion catheters and the incidence, characteristics, and risk factors of PIVC-related catheter failure in Japanese NICUs and GCUs" Yamamoto et al (2026).
"This review demonstrated that peripheral vasopressor protocols did not yield statistically significant reductions in extravasation rates among patients receiving peripheral vasopressor therapy" Wiseman et al (2026).
"The anatomical distribution, temporal migration, and spontaneous disappearance of the air suggested a benign iatrogenic origin related to peripheral venous access rather than traumatic pathology or contrast administration" Zama et al (2026).
"The results were consistent with other studies, demonstrating drug library compliance ranging from 65% to 80% during the first year of implementation" Narváez-Martínez et al (2026).
Proximal trimming and retrograde tunneling for neonatal central venous access: An atypical over the wire approach from a single center experience from the Journal of…
"In this study, the use of a liquid crystal vein locator was associated with a significantly higher first-attempt success rate, fewer puncture attempts, and reduced procedural times for PIVC in young children" Wu et al (2026).
"High-risk irritants such as caspofungin, ganciclovir, and amiodarone were independently associated with the highest phlebitis risk" Ferraz-Torres et al (2026).
"Initial central venous blood culture sampling before CVC insertion is a simple approach that does not generate additional costs and may reduce contamination while preserving accurate pathogen detection, thereby potentially improving diagnostic certainty and supporting antimicrobial stewardship" Hellenthal et al (2026).
"This series supports the use of routine immediate POCUS for all neonatal PICC lines and consideration of real-time ultrasound-guided PICC placement. Warning signs of intra-arterial placement include abnormal line trajectory on radiographs, insertion site oozing, high pump pressures and limb ischaemia (including contralateral limb involvement)" Douch et al (2026).
"Daily bathing with chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) has demonstrated efficacy in reducing skin colonization by multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), yet compliance remains suboptimal in many settings" Barman et al (2026).
"This study explored how nurses trained in midline catheter insertion describe their emotional experiences during the procedure, and how these emotions emerge as they recount their technical actions and interactions with patients" Guillouët et al (2026).
"The catheter gauge and length are often chosen based on visual estimation. Ultrasound allows for the direct measurement of vessel diameter and depth, which may reduce failed attempts, particularly in patients with difficult access and pediatric patients" Linares and Lopes (2026).
