"Although daily chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) bathing is recommended for patients with central venous catheters (CVCs), adherence is often inconsistent in non-intensive care unit (ICU) settings where device visibility and maintenance workflows may be less standardized" Nayyer et al (2026).
"In this large neonatal cohort, 26G SPCs were associated with a statistically longer dwell time than 24G SPCs, although the absolute difference was small. Therapy completion and complication rates were comparable between the groups, whereas first-attempt insertion success rates were higher with 26G SPCs" van Rens et al (2026).
"Despite a general alignment with evidence-based standards in certain areas, variation persists in practices such as disinfection methods, flushing techniques, and locking strategies" Hernández et al (2026).
"This article provides an overview of central venous access devices, with a particular focus on the benefits of implantable ports for long-term care and the role of the Safetouch Huber Infusion Set in facilitating access to implantable ports" Mozas et al (2026).
"RTA Ecoflac® plus infusions reduced preparation time by 50-62% (mean 82 s versus 163-214 s; P<0.05) and required 63-70% fewer components. RTA syringe preparation achieved 6-25% time savings" Deacon et al (2026).
"Although several clinical factors have been associated with MDR infections, there is still a lack of practical and individualized predictive tools to facilitate early risk stratification in intensive care unit (ICU) patients" Fu etal (2026).
"Findings from this trial suggest that conducting a definitive randomized trial of fistulas versus catheters is not feasible in the current climate. There was no signal of harm associated with randomization to the catheter strategy and most outcomes favored the catheter group. Patients exhibited strong preferences regarding choice of vascular access" Quinn et al (2026).
"This novel case suggests a potential infectious risk for B. subtilis in neonates with central venous access and underscores the necessity of considering probiotics as a potential source of catheter-related sepsis" Chen et al (2026).
"The patient underwent emergency exploratory laparotomy. During ultrasound-guided internal jugular vein catheterization in the setting of an open abdomen, the guidewire was unexpectedly visualized emerging through the umbilical vein" Sachan et al (2026).
"This protocol describes a trial evaluating the adjunctive use of medical liquid adhesive at the dressing-skin interface to improve dressing adhesion and maintain dressing integrity" Kleidon et al (2026).
"This study investigated the clinical characteristics, causative microorganisms, and antibiotic resistance patterns of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) in hemodialysis patients at a tertiary healthcare institution" Ture et al (2026).
"These results support guidewire exchange as a safe, effective and reproducible method for replacing infected tunneled CVCs in hemodialysis patients" Lomeo et al (2026).
