"This narrative article presents a forward-looking vision of vascular access connectivity supported in current clinical and technological knowledge. It explores how emerging connectivity, particularly needle-free port systems, could reshape the future of dialysis care. We briefly review existing vascular access modalities, including central venous catheters (CVCs) and arteriovenous (AV) accesses, along with their associated limitations" Canaud et al (2026).
"Traditional mechanisms for confirming successful IO placement remain historically static with rudimentary, best practice reliance on tactile feedback, catheter stability, and the ability to aspirate blood" Kretz et al (2026).
