"Ultrasound-guided catheter insertion and nonsilicone catheters effectively prevented PICC complications. The evidence for other comparisons was too uncertain to draw conclusions, highlighting the urgent need for additional studies on prevention and control interventions" Dobrescu et al (2025).
"Compared with internal jugular vein, external jugular vein access has obvious advantages: the location of external jugular vein is superficial and easy to find, the utilization of external jugular vein is easy to learn and master, and the external jugular vein is of little importance to the human body" Zhen et al (2025).
"To secure peripheral venous access under sonographic guidance, LPCs would provide additional advantages such as a channel for backflow and sampling and longer dwell time compared to conventional peripheral intravenous cannulas" Sam et al (2025).
"Risks of occupational exposures to hazardous drugs (HDs) have been documented and identified as needing to be monitored. To decrease potential exposures in a community hospital, this project evaluated the impact of implementing a hazardous drug wipe sampling technology (BD HD Check system; BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ) and accompanying environmental procedures, risk level scoring assessment, and recordkeeping tools on identifying HD surface contamination" Hayes-Porter and Shay (2025).
"This article reports a case of end-stage kidney disease with long-term dialysis catheter use, resulting in central vein stenosis and the rare complication of combined chylothorax and chylopericardium" Tharapoom et al (2025).
"The objective of the present study was to establish local reference data for radiation exposure in children undergoing port implantation" Krause et al (2025).
"Tunneled peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are crucial for delivering long-term intravenous therapies to cancer patients. We compared PICC-related complications among different patient groups and identify potential factors contributing to these complications" Li et al (2025).
"This study was aimed to summarize the ultrasonic characteristics of inserted central catheter (ICC) related fibroblastic sleeve, providing theoretical basis for its early diagnosis" Ben et al (2025).
"CLABSIs cause high morbidity and mortality; therefore, clinicians should have a high index of suspicion, especially in patients with fever and a high white blood cell count" Al Qahtani et al (2025).
"The study highlights the ongoing issue of NSIs among HCWs, especially inexperienced interns. While training programs have shown promise in reducing NSI rates, the high incidence of safety devices not being effectively utilized underscores the need for continuous education and hands-on training to enhance safety practices and prevent NSIs in healthcare settings" Wong et al (2025).
"To investigate the applicability, safety, and efficacy of long peripheral catheters in the infusion therapy of lung cancer patients" Liu et al (2025).
"This study reveals no significant differences in the incidence of infections, catheter occlusion, thrombosis, exudation, fibrin sheath, catheter malposition, fracture, pneumothorax, and malfunction between the two implanted venous access ports" Wei et al (2025).
