"Peripherally inserted central catheters are increasingly utilized, but placement can be challenging due to anatomical constraints and the need for an adequate catheter-to-vein ratio and optimal exit site positioning. This paper presents a novel approach combining in-plane oblique axis ultrasound guidance with pseudotunneling for catheter insertion in a complex anatomical scenario" Simone et al (2025).
"Our objective was to determine the prevalence of central catheter bacteremia in ICU, during 2022, as well as to determine associated risk factors" Mancheño-Maciá et al (2025).
"The addition of online training resulted in increased confidence in performing eFAST (28.57% increase), focused echocardiograms (25% increase), ocular sonograms (41.67% increase), but a decrease was seen in vascular access by 16% due to limited time spent on this exam" Walsh et al (2025).
"HOB would substantially expand the scope of focus of existing bloodstream infection measurement, and is currently being considered for voluntary reporting in 2025. In this article, we provide arguments for and against adopting HOB as a PFP measure linked to CMS payments" Schrank et al (2025).
"These diverse patient perspectives should inform trials to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative antibiotic delivery strategies, as well as interventions to improve patient-centered decision-making for DUA-IE treatment" Cooper et al (2025).
"This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of positive reinforcement nursing interventions in patients receiving emergency infusions. This retrospective study included 971 patients who underwent infusion therapy in the emergency department from February 2023 to February 2024" Liu et al (2025).
"DRIP has shown that elimination of cannulation where not clinically indicated is achievable. Use of the DRIP tool can support safe organizational culture by encouraging staff to question the need for a PIVC to reduce or eliminate the "just in case" or idle cannula" May and Gillman (2025).
"Cuidaven® is an app designed specifically to improve adherence to best practices in the care of people with venous catheters, and to increase health education and involvement of patients in their own clinical safety and self-care" Bujalance-Hoyos et al (2025).
"Experience in removing broken catheters is limited and there are no special tools. We present 4 cases of catheter removal using the available lassos/lasso catheter and tools designed for transvenous lead extraction and coronary sinus lead implantation via a femoral and subclavian approach" Kutarski et al (2025).
"We describe a novel program to co-locate OPAT and SUD supports at skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) in a pilot program to improve clinical outcomes" Keller et al (2025).
"Overall, crystalloid volumes administered in the prehospital setting were low in this cohort of hypotensive trauma patients exposed to at least 30 min of prehospital care. This may suggest that the practice of fluid restriction for patients who are hypotensive following trauma has permeated into EMS practice nationwide" Nordstrom et al (2025).
"Self-removal of medical devices (SRMD) is common in the intensive care unit (ICU). Most studies of this issue concentrate on self-extubation, leaving self-removal of other devices less well studied" Culhane et al (2025).
