Real-time detection of extravasation events – Full Text

"A real-time, detector-based strategy can identify radiopharmaceutical extravasation during injection, support immediate mitigation, and preserve diagnostic accuracy by allowing early SUV correction" Cucurachi et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Financial stewardship and CLABSI elimination

"These efforts resulted in sustained CLABSI-free performance and reduced avoidable expenses. Disciplined processes support financial stewardship by creating operational reliability and minimizing waste associated with preventable harm" Brown and Williams (2026).

IVTEAM

Needle phobia in the perioperative setting

"On the day of surgery, techniques such as pharmacologic anxiolysis, topical anesthetics, vibration devices, and distraction can facilitate patient tolerance of needle-based procedures" McCoy et al (2026).

IVTEAM

PICC-port complications in breast cancer patients

"Breast cancer patients experienced significantly fewer PICC-port complications and demonstrated excellent device survival. These findings suggest that PICC-ports may be a particularly suitable first-line vascular access option for selected patients with breast cancer" Beaufrère et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Multimodal CLABSI prevention – Full Text

"A staged, multimodal intervention was associated with a significant decreasing trend in CLABSI incidence over time, suggesting a potential benefit of comprehensive infection prevention strategies in ICU settings" Chung et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Residual deposits in implanted intravenous ports – Full Text

"These findings suggest a link between flow dynamics and deposit accumulation, indicating that revisions to nursing guidelines-including standardized insertion, increased flushing volumes, and simulation-based competency training-may help support improved port function and potentially lower complication risks" Fu et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Accuracy of vein identification methods for vascular access

"Vein assessment via standard visualization/palpation effectively rules out inappropriate sites and should trigger early ultrasound escalation. However, clinically "suitable" veins are frequently suboptimal on ultrasound, supporting broader use of ultrasound to guide initial cannulation decisions" Bahl et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Cephalic vein for cannulation in pediatric patients

"Risk factors for difficult cannulation of the cephalic vein in children remain underexplored. This study aimed to perform an ultrasound-based morphometric assessment of the vein in pediatric patients" Samocki et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Vascular access in neonates under 1000 grams

"Ultrasound-guided nT-CICCs are associated with significantly lower rates of infectious and mechanical complications compared with n-PICCs in ELBW neonates" Capasso et al (2026).
