"Although often used off label, hypodermoclysis is a safe and practical alternative to IV infusion, particularly suitable for older or frail patients at home or in nursing homes. It offers a timely and pragmatic solution to issues related to outpatient care and hospital overcrowding" Arcani et al (2026).
"This study can inform the design of a definitive trial to assess the clinical and economic effectiveness of CHG-impregnated dressings for PIVCs, including refinement of the eligibility criteria and primary outcome" Drugeon et al (2026).
"The high incidence of needlestick injuries (80.1%) underscores the importance of moving beyond theory toward enhanced clinical supervision. To address these gaps, nursing education should prioritize targeted practical training and cultivate a robust safety culture that encourages incident reporting" Marendić et al (2026).
"The use of anticoagulant drugs (both prophylactic and therapeutic), antiplatelet therapy, and PICC use significantly lowered the risk of CRT. The findings support personalized prevention strategies and underscore the need for a well-designed randomized controlled trial to validate these findings" La Cava et al (2026).
"Our findings suggest that ALT was associated with catheter retention in a considerable proportion of patients; however, given the retrospective design and potential for confounding by indication, this observation should be interpreted cautiously rather than as a definitive efficacy claim" Kaçabeti et al (2026).
"The guidelines address pre-procedural ultrasound assessment, selection of the optimal vascular access site, comparison of ultrasound-guided versus landmark cannulation at different access sites, confirmation of catheter position after cannulation, and the role of positional manoeuvres" Zawadka et al (2026).
"These findings support a growing body of evidence indicating that occupational safety in healthcare is a multidimensional phenomenon shaped by organizational conditions as well as individual factors" Bidel et al (2026).
"Prematurity, female sex, nonideal catheter tip position, and higher puncture attempts were associated with an increased risk of PICC-related complications" Zhou et al (2026).
"The objective of this paper is to compare outcomes for patients treated with healthcare administered Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (H-OPAT) versus S-OPAT (self-administered antibiotics) for the treatment of foot osteomyelitis" Tarricone et al (2026).
"Virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a non-pharmacological intervention capable of modulating attentional and emotional responses during medical procedures; however, evidence in adult oncology patients undergoing vascular access placement remains scarce" Camuccio et al (2026).
"Tunneled PICC offers significant advantages in reducing complications and improving perioperative performance. These findings suggest that tunneled PICC may be a valuable option for cancer patients" Ren et al (2026).
"Neonatal care has advanced rapidly in scientific knowledge, technology and precision over recent decades. Yet daily bedside practice does not always reflect this trajectory. The reasons are complex and multifactorial, but include resistance to change by practitioners and their organisations" van Rens et al (2026).
