"The purpose of this evidence-based practice initiative was to determine whether locking TIVADs with normal saline alone during a 90-day maintenance flushing protocol resulted in an increase in partial occlusions" Ramsey et al (2026).
"Infusion pumps are designed to alarm when air in the IV line (AIL) reaches a set threshold and can result in disruptions in drug delivery and decreased nursing productivity. Depending on the method employed, removal of AIL can also pose a risk to healthcare workers and patients" Eisenberg and Trick (2026).
"This study aimed to explore this correlation at baseline and in various clinical scenarios (e.g., different heart rates, arrhythmias, asystolic arrest, and CPR)" Reifart et al (2026).
"Although successful in inpatient settings, the effectiveness of fall prevention programs in the outpatient oncology setting requires additional study because of their unique nature and quality and safety concerns" Quinn and Miaskowski (2026).
"Fluoroscopy overestimates the cavoatrial junction position. Given that right atrium placement reduces intrathoracic central venous stenosis risk, advancing the catheter tip 10-30 mm beyond fluoroscopically guided landmarks constitutes a key maneuver for achieving accurate positioning" Yu et al (2026).
"This review highlights the need for well-designed studies to determine the clinical effectiveness of antimicrobial locks for primary and secondary CLABSI prevention in specific pediatric populations and to determine whether there is differential impact by lock type" L'Etoile et al (2026).
"Peripheral intravenous infiltration and extravasation injuries (PIVIEs) in pediatric patients are a significant yet underrecognized source of preventable harm, often due to inconsistent detection and limited standardization. This study implemented a structured quality improvement initiative to enhance early detection, classification, and management of PIVIEs at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, supporting the institution's goal of zero preventable harm" MacKinnon et al (2026).
"his case series presents three patients with varying underlying conditions who experienced iron extravasation following ferric carboxymaltose infusion" Ada Özcan et al (2026).
"Most participants reported that training increased their confidence in performing intravenous cannulation. This finding highlights the success of the training programme in enhancing the practical skills of students" Vural et al (2026).
"We sought to define the current rate of and risk factors for postoperative central venous catheter (CVC)-associated deep vein thrombosis (CA-DVT) using the Pediatric Cardiac Critical Care Consortium (PC4) dataset" Patregnani et al (2026).
"The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships among neonatal length, weight, PMA, and PICC depth" Armbruster et al (2026).
"Based on available evidence, opioids probably reduce pain associated with PICC placement in neonates. Topical anesthetics and acetaminophen were not demonstrated to be effective. Further research is necessary to guide healthcare professionals in implementing optimal pain management for this procedure" Tabbara et al (2025).
