"This study compares performance scores obtained through real-time on-site observation, independent video assessment, and collaborative video assessment of venipuncture performance" Yi et al (2026).
"Implementation of 70% isopropyl alcohol-impregnated disinfecting caps resulted in a substantial clinical reduction in ambulatory CLABSI incidence and yielded significant cost savings in this high-risk population" Devrim et al (2026).
"A clinical pharmacist-led parameterised smart pump programme strengthened standardisation at the point of administration and supported a proactive medication-safety culture in routine practice" Ioannidis et al (2026).
"An alternate access option for rehydration therapy is hypodermoclysis, commonly referred to as subcutaneous rehydration (SCR), where fluids can be infused and absorbed through the subcutaneous tissue" Davis et al (2026).
"While clinical awareness of MARSI has improved significantly over the last decade, institutional support remains fragmented. The reliance on informal assessment rather than standardised protocols creates a critical implementation gap between clinical recognition and formal practice" Samuriwo et al (2026).
"Low adherence to aseptic measures and a significant frequency of touching clinical surfaces before administering medications were observed, which may represent a risk to patient safety" Ramos et al (2026).
"In this nationwide surveillance cohort study of NICUs, BSIs and CLABSIs rates declined significantly over 5 years, while substantial interhospital variability persisted" Choi et al (2026).
"Contrast extravasation through a long-term indwelling port-a-cath is a rare but catastrophic cause of acute cardiac tamponade. Sudden cardiovascular collapse during or after contrast-enhanced CT in a patient with a long-term central venous device should prompt immediate suspicion for this diagnosis" Janjua et al (2026).
"We aimed to investigate the time to positivity of blood cultures in our NICU to determine if we can better inform empiric antibiotic duration decisions in both early-onset (≤72 h) and late-onset (>72 h) sepsis evaluations" Graf et al (2026).
"The results highlight the importance of drug administration, especially the pH and type of drug, concentration, and route of administration, which play a critical role in reducing extravasation, thereby improving PIV therapy outcomes" Pathomjaruwat et al (2026).
"In this quality improvement study of a telemedicine-supported home injection model for women with breast cancer, strong feasibility was demonstrated by high injection completion rates and acceptability by participants. The findings suggest that insurance approval and the copayments associated with at-home, but not in-clinic, administration were an impediment to participation and need to be addressed before scaling" Malling et al (2026).
"Experienced nurses in paediatric intensive care maintained high-risk medication safety through linked practices of anomaly recognition, proactive verification, team communication, continued follow-up, safety checks, bedside adaptation and near-miss learning" Huang et al (2026).
