Vascular access in the newborn

"The NEVAT group provides the first European position paper on neonatal vascular access, aiming to improve homogeneity in device selection, insertion, and maintenance, promoting a safer and more consistent care" Barone et al (2026).

Failure risk on the first attempt of peripheral IV puncture

"Patients classified as high risk in the A-DIVA scale required more puncture attempts, had shorter PIVC dwell times, and experienced more negative outcomes. Using technologies such as ultrasound is beneficial for patients at high risk of failure on the first attempt" Prates et al (2026).

Scans required to diagnose PICC-associated venous thrombosis

"Venous thromboembolism (VTE), compromised of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), is a well-recognized complication of cancer. In fact, the risk of VTE is 9-fold higher in individuals with cancer compared with those without. Furthermore, cancer-associated VTE may result in interruption of cancer therapies, exclusion from clinical trials, and short- and long-term morbidity and mortality" Henkin et al (2026).

Optimum flushing volume for power-injectable PICC

"We concluded that pulsed flushing with 10 ml normal saline immediately after the contrast agent injection was sufficient. Higher flushing volumes did not lead to a better flushing effect; rather, they would only bring unnecessary fluid burden and cost to patients.Patient or public contribution:No patient or public contribution" Guo et al (2026).

Central venous access in pediatric hematology-oncology

"In our center, we use a systematic, multidisciplinary workflow to anticipate the treatment trajectory, prioritize venous preservation, prevent complications, and support structured salvage strategies when device dysfunction or infection occurs" Crocoli (2026).

Admixture compatibility studies in parenteral formulations

"This review synthesizes the current scientific understanding of physicochemical and material-based incompatibilities in reconstituted formulations, intravenous drug admixtures, and parenteral nutrition, highlighting their implications for safety and efficacy" Eknure et al (2026).
