"Antimicrobial lock treatment (ALT), when utilized alongside systemic antibiotics, may be lifesaving when catheter removal (CR) is not feasible" Kara et al (2025).
"This study aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) inserted by the PICC nursing team in the neuro intensive care unit (ICU)" Li et al (2025).
"The majority of participants had good knowledge and practice about peripheral intravenous catheters. The availability of antiseptic solution, sex, age, working unit, workload, and training were significantly associated with knowledge" Tegegne et al (2025).
"Improving nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors through targeted education and continuous clinical practice monitoring is essential for enhancing medication safety in critical care. Regular training and evaluation programs are vital to minimizing medication errors and ensuring safe and effective healthcare practices in ICUs" Ahmad et al (2025).
"This case highlights the importance of caution with intraosseous access, especially when using semirigid containers and pressure-infusion devices" Amiot et al (2025).
"To identify factors associated with prehospital intravenous access (IVA) in non-minor emergencies and compare the outcomes of emergency medical service (EMS)-witnessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) occurring before and after IVA was established" Ito et al (2025).
"Following implementation of OPAT plan reconciliation by ID pharmacists prior to discharge from acute care, OPAT recipients were significantly less likely to experience 90-day ED visits or 90-day readmissions" Ross et al (2025).
"Aging, neoplasms (especially hematological malignancy), malnutrition, and blood coagulation abnormalities were common characteristics of patients with PPN extravasation. Nurses should be careful about PPN extravasation even at midnight or in the early hours of the morning because of the relatively poor subjective symptoms, such as pain and discomfort, caused by PPN extravasation" Maezawa et al (2025).
"The team was formed by 2 infusion therapy nurses. In the first year, 1502 activities were carried out, with a predominance of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) insertions (896; 59.6%); consultations related to infusion therapy (185; 12.3%); and PICC clearance procedures (103; 6.8%). PICCs were inserted using tip navigation and intracavitary electrocardiogram guidance in 82.5% of cases" Messias et al (2025).
"Sharing BCC data outside of the laboratory, measuring additional BCx quality indicators, and limiting central catheter-drawn BCx were associated with lower BCC rates" Fabre et al (2025).
"Midline catheters can be used for specimen collection in difficult-to-access populations. The low complication rates and decreased patient venipunctures support consideration of this intervention. However, more work is needed to standardize best practice in this area" Kennedy et al (2025).
"Use commercially manufactured prefilled flush syringes (when available) to reduce the risk of catheter-associated bloodstream infection (CABSI) and device failure, save time for syringe preparation, and aid optimal flushing technique and objectives" Devrim et al (2025).
