"These findings indicate that integrating vascular ultrasound throughout the peripheral venous access pathway provides a standardized workflow that improves clinical outcomes, enhances nursing efficiency, and reduces medical risk" Zhang and Li (2026).
"To identify and appraise high-quality, free-to-access educational resources available in the English language across grey literature to support OPAT service delivery for healthcare professionals and/or patients" Watson et al (2026).
"However, evidence supporting CLT efficacy and safety in newborns is still limited and fragmented. A rigorous synthesis of the available data is therefore critically needed" Maiocco et al (2026).
"The study not only found overall high patient satisfaction with phlebotomy services but also identified actionable gaps in waiting time management, sanitation, and communication" Bansal et al (2026).
"PICCs were associated with longer dwell times and fewer local infections, without increased risk of CRBSIs or thrombosis. These findings suggest that PICCs may help optimize supportive care in clinically stable patients undergoing AML induction chemotherapy" Ehrlich et al (2026).
"In this quality improvement study of MRSA prevention in ICU and non-ICU hospital settings, the program was associated with significantly reduced rates of laboratory-identified MRSA HOB events and other infections among participating hospital units" Maragakis et al (2026).
"Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening metabolic complication of diabetes mellitus requiring aggressive intravenous fluid resuscitation. Although the recommended fluid has always been 0.9% normal saline (NS), its supraphysiological chloride load may induce hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, potentially complicating DKA management" Hamed et al (2026).
"Acquired conditions, such as infections, malignancies, cardiovascular diseases, and inflammatory bowel disease, are recognized as risk factors for VTE. Among these, the presence of a central venous catheter remains the most significant and common risk factor for pediatric VTE" Espanol and Janbain (2026).
"We present an uncommon diagnosis of a chemothorax from a malpositioned central venous catheter in the thorax, despite a radiograph suggesting correct placement, and infusion of chemotherapy causing a common complaint of shortness of breath" Miller et al (2026).
"These findings could guide innovative clinical practice developments in safe PIVC care by promoting patient education on using the VIP score for early visual detection of PIVC-related complications" Soo Hoo et al (2026).
"The findings from the ClearGuard study and ongoing use across hospitals indicate a clinically significant reduction in hemodialysis catheter-related CLABSI events and associated costs" Holder et al (2026).
