MARSI in oncology and haematology patients with PICC

"To determine the prevalence of MARSI associated with peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICCs) in oncology and haematology patients, analyse the type of injury and identify risk factors" Zaballa Canive et al (2025).

CLABSI reduction in PICU

"We aimed to study the impact of certain quality improvement (QI) initiatives in reducing these infections from baseline rate of 10.5 per 1000 central line days" Kaur et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Simplify the IV medication administration process and reduce CLABSI rates

"Though not statistically significant, the findings suggest that the added complexity and extended duration of the modified IV pump integration process may have increased the frequency of caregiver interactions with the NICU environment, exposing immune-vulnerable NICU patients to a higher risk of infection" Nolan et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Advancement of nurses in vascular access care

"Although vascular access care is crucial, its quality is often unsatisfactory due to the diversity of procedures, technologies, and the need to adapt to each patient. Despite numerous improvement interventions, high complication rates and suboptimal use of these vascular devices persist" Castro-Sánchez et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Standardized central line bundle for use in clinical trials – Full Text

"We propose a standardized central line bundle for mandatory use in clinical trials. This will help reduce variability in baseline CLABSI rates across study centers, enabling a more accurate evaluation of the benefit-risk profile of experimental therapies-especially those requiring administration via central venous catheters" Manzoni et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Radial artery catheterization for hemodynamic monitoring – Full Text

"While first-attempt success rates were similar, the dRA approach offered greater arterial pressure waveform stability and shorter hemostasis time than the conventional RA approach, without increasing complications. Thus, dRA may be a preferable option for arterial catheterization in critically ill patients" Peng et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Early identification of peripheral IV catheter failure

"Subcutaneous edema was identified as a predictor of catheter failure. Ultrasonographic observation of subcutaneous edema at PIVC placement may be effective in preventing catheter failure occurrence" Takahashi et al (2025).
