"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).
"Both approaches were generally safe, with no major adverse events observed in either group. Ultrasound-guided subclavian access was associated with a shorter procedure time, whereas hematoma occurred only in the jugular group and catheterization failure and upper-limb edema were seen only in low-weight infants in the subclavian group" Farhadi et al (2026).
"We report a case of cerebral air embolism occurring following the removal of a double-lumen catheter used for plasmapheresis in a patient with NMOSD" Goo et al (2026).
"Considerable heterogeneity persists across recommendations. Ultrasound is consistently endorsed as the first-line imaging modality, whereas the role of clinical prediction scores and D-dimer remains uncertain because neither has been validated in CRT populations. Catheters should be preserved when functional, correctly positioned, and free from infection" Rosson et al (2026).
"The study showed satisfactory performance of the Subcutaneous Hydration Device prototype in a simulated scenario and generated positive satisfaction among nurses. The potential of the Subcutaneous Hydration Device to improve nursing care, especially at home, was highlighted" Thiago et al (2026).
"Metastatic complications occurred in approximately 9% of CRBSI episodes but were strongly associated with persistent bacteremia, particularly in S. aureus infections" Lanyan et al (2026).
"The high frequency of incompatibilities observed is related to the large number of intravenous medications and the complexity of therapeutic regimens used in intensive care. Bedside pharmacist involvement proved feasible and contributed to safer medication administration practices in these units" de Souza et al (2026).
"A hybrid approach combining pseudo-tunnelling with an additional anterograde subcutaneous tract allowed placement of a double-lumen 5-Fr PICC with the exit site relocated to the mid-upper arm" Salinaro et al (2026).
"We used very-high-sensitivity infrared thermography to observe the puncture site in real time during radiopharmaceutical injection for bone scintigraphy and evaluated superficial vein visualization and the potential for extravasation monitoring" Kageyama et al (2026).
