"No statistically significant differences were observed in pain scores, patient satisfaction, procedure duration, or complication rates between the two approaches. These findings suggest that omitting tunnel-site anesthesia may be feasible when a blunt-tip stylet is employed" Bolgen and Karluka (2026).
"The research findings revealed that pet therapy applied during venipuncture, especially live animal interaction, may be a potentially effective, safe, and non-pharmacological method for reducing pain" Demirağ and Tuç (2026).
"Structural and functional changes in the IPCT, combined with the introduction of ICP consultations, substantially enhanced the quality and completeness of HAI surveillance in the analyzed hospital" Wałaszek et al (2026).
"This study aimed to investigate the current status of professional training and the utilization of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) among operating room nurses in tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province, to evaluate nurses' comfort level with PICC use, and to analyze the factors influencing the intraoperative application and effective utilization of PICC" Yang et al (2026).
