"Longer PN duration was associated with IFALD and CRBSI, although the IFALD association should be interpreted cautiously because PN duration contributes to its operational definition" Zekovic et al (2026).
"FS is a common but asymptomatic ultrasound finding in cancer patients with PICCs. CRT is less frequent but clinically significant" Nunziata 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).
"Among Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters successfully inserted, tip confirmation via chest X-ray and catheter-to-vessel ratio between 31%-40% were associated with thrombosis, whereas Sherlock™ confirmation was protective" Saba and Barbosa (2026).
"A nurse-led PICC insertion pathway embedded within a VAT can be implemented safely and effectively in Poland. High procedural success, sustained catheter patency, and frequent avoidance of planned CICC placement indicate potential clinical and organizational benefits"
"LPCs and MCs allowed completion of intravenous therapy in most pediatric patients. Thrombosis was the most clinically relevant complication. Larger studies are needed to identify predictors of catheter failure and thrombosis" Adalia Rodríguez et al (2026).
"Most reported cases of CLABSI did not meet the CNISP definition, which underscores the need for standardized interpretation of criteria and education" Kanji et al (2026).
"C. auris emerged in our ICU after 2023 and was mainly detected in patients with prolonged hospitalization, invasive devices, broad-spectrum antimicrobial exposure, and frequent MDR bacterial co-occurrence" Köşker et al (2026).
"A CLABSI bundle that included touch-free, aseptic stethoscope hygiene barriers and chlorhexidine-impregnated dressings was highly effective at decreasing the CLABSI rate" Ragsdale et al (2026).
"A CT-based body surface landmark approach was associated with improved consistency of appropriate CVC tip placement and enables patient-specific estimation of insertion depth" Kida and Sumitomo (2026).
"In children undergoing CVAD placement as a part of burn care, catheter-related complications were infrequent in this cohort managed with a standardized insertion and maintenance approach. These descriptive findings could serve as a basis for future prospective studies" Picconi et al (2026).
