"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).
"This study aimed to systematically review and meta-analyze the literature to identify the components of home care-based education for cancer patients with peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) and evaluate its effects compared to traditional health education" Huang et al (2025).

"septic technique during the administration of parenteral nutrition/home parenteral nutrition (PN/HPN) errs towards poorly described traditional aseptic/sterile approaches.
