"Ultrasound is a highly feasible and accurate method for n-PICC tip location. Tip migration is a frequent event, particularly towards the heart in upper limbs/scalp insertions and within the first 2 h. We recommend serial ultrasound monitoring to detect tip migration and potentially reduce catheter-related complications" Grasso et al (2025).
"Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are associated with complications including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and infections. However, the risk factors for developing DVT specifically during PICC-related infections remain poorly understood" Petitgas et al (2025).
"Intravenous cannula breakage can lead to further complications including infection, migration, and subsequent embolization. Although fast identification and extraction are essential management components, there are no consensual guidelines for the proper management of this complication" Lossos et al (2025).
"Available studies on prolonged infusions of beta lactams in PICU patients are limited and of low quality. Further research is needed to assess for clinical benefits associated with prolonged beta-lactam infusions for treatment of severe infection" O'Keefe et al (2025).
New Open Access publication on The effects of a new device on mechanical complications of short peripheral intravenous catheters: A randomized controlled trial from the…
"Peripheral intravenous cannula induced complications tend to occur after a relatively prolonged dwell time. Parental education, mask use, insertion set kit, side of cannulation, cannula dressing, and blood administration were predictors for these complications" Moltot et al (2025).
"Implementing a structured, layered quality improvement approach was associated with a significant decrease in CLABSI rates" Sirago et al (2025).
"A central line-associated bloodstream infection prevention rapid response team (CLABSI-RRT) huddle was convened to provide just-in-time support to staff caring for patients with high-risk central venous catheters (CVCs)" Rios-Rivera et al (2025).
"It was observed that stress ball-squeezing and balloon inflation methods applied during peripheral vascular access alleviated the pain and fear of children and positively affected their vital signs" Sakalli et al (2026).
"In this randomized controlled trial (RCT), Couper et al. explored the impact of medication administration via the interosseous (IO) versus intravenous (IV) route on 30-day survival" Long et al (2025).
"Washout is effective for reducing skin loss in paediatric extravasation injuries, particularly in grades 3 and 4. Lower limb cannulation carries a significantly higher risk of skin loss. Injury grade should guide urgent washout intervention" Fernando et al (2025).
"The HDC method was found to be easier to perform by healthcare professionals, caused fewer complications and was less expensive than the intravenous fluid infusion method. Further prospective studies are needed" Özkaya et al (2025).
