"Routine PVC removal at set time intervals may prevent bloodstream infection and thrombophlebitis; however, it requires additional replacement PVC insertions and costs. An alternative is clinically indicated removal when the PVC is no longer needed, functional, comfortable or complication-free” Charles et al (2026).
"This case highlights the importance of routinely checking for pinch-off syndrome whenever a central catheter is placed, and it suggests that removal of migrated catheter fragments may not be necessary in asymptomatic patients” El Graini et al (2026).
"In a simulated environment, the novel insertion system reduced total procedure time and procedural challenges, particularly guidewire kinking, which may aid in prevention of guidewire complications when compared with a traditional ACVC” Wimmer et al (2025).
"The study aims to identify a relatively low-risk locking frequency for catheter dysfunction, evaluate its effects on maintaining catheter patency and preventing catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI), and determine the optimal locking strategy that balances infection risk and catheter functionality” Zhang et al (2026).
New publication on Variations in pain induced by venous cannulation on repeated time-points: An observational cohort study from the Journal of Vascular Access Variations in…
"Massage shortened the peripheral intravenous catheter insertion process and positively affected the patients' anxiety of and satisfaction with the procedure" Eren and Karacan (2026).
"Long-term central venous catheters removal is often complicated by peri catheter adhesions and calcification. Owing to the risk of significant complications, removal should be performed only when clinically indicated and preferably in specialized centers with access to interventional radiology and cardiac surgery" Bawazir et al (2026).
"The incidence of PICC-associated phlebitis was high among preterm infants with PICCs in NICU. Non-central PICCs, number of attempts for successful insertions ≥ 5 times, and lower limb venous catheterization served as risk factors of PICC-associated phlebitis among preterm infants" Sun et al (2026).
"This review analyzes existing literature and clinical experience to highlight mechanisms of catheter adherence and embolization, with a focus on pediatric-specific challenges" Gismondi et al (2026).
"According to numerous evidence-based articles and procedures, bed rest is recommended after central venous catheter, femoral arterial catheter, femoral intra-aortic balloon pump, or femoral cardiac catheterization sheath removal" Miller (2026).
"Blood culture diversion (BCD), particularly via blood culture diversion devices (BCDDs), has emerged as a promising strategy to reduce BCC. BCDDs divert initial blood flow likely contaminated with skin flora, thereby improving diagnostic accuracy" Otter et al (2026).
"In this study, we evaluated the use of a head-up display (HUD) to project the ultrasound image above the eye of the surgeon, overcoming the above limitations" Holler et al (2026).
