"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).
"After a brief training, novice users regularly used POCUS in the care of wounded soldiers in Ukraine. FAST, pneumothorax, vascular access, soft tissue, and nerve blocks were the most frequently used applications" Kravchuk et al (2026).
"In adults receiving home parenteral nutrition, portable infusion pumps may improve daily functioning, independence, mobility, and participation in social and work-related activities" Perliński et al (2026).
"In conclusion, we found that female sex, a larger number of chemotherapy lines, and a history of radiotherapy might be predictors of severe neutropenia. Comorbidity may be a protective factor against severe neutropenia" Zhang and He (2026).
"CLABSI rates increased substantially during the pandemic period compared with the pre-pandemic period, while CAUTI rates also showed variation over time. Hand hygiene compliance remained low during the surveillance period" Prasad et al (2026).
