"We retrospectively reviewed consecutive ultrasound-guided mid-thigh lower-extremity PICC placements performed under a standardized protocol (15 cm below the inguinal ligament; fixed 55-cm insertion depth) in an adult ICU and extracted indication patterns, catheter dwell time, removal reasons, and microbiological findings" Chang et al (2026).
"Mental imagery is an effective, safe, low-cost strategy that significantly enhances simulation-based procedural performance and learner confidence in PVC insertion" Boulet et al (2026).
"This study found a high prevalence of inappropriate VAD selection in hospitalised patients, especially among PVADs, although with no increased risk of complications. Further studies are needed to address effective strategies for improving the selection of VADs" Pinelli et al (2026).
"The developed 3D silicone phantom provides a realistic, affordable, and reproducible neonatal vascular access simulator. User feedback supports its fidelity and utility, and its low material cost enables broad implementation in neonatal procedural training programs" Zoellner et al (2026).
"The selection of venous catheters in acute care units is not usually adequate since many peripheral catheters are placed in patients who require intravenous medication during a prolonged period or who are receiving risk medication" Moreno-Rubio et al (2026).
New publication on the Performance and safety of Femorally Inserted Central Catheters in oncological patients: A cases series analysis from the Journal of Vascular Access…
"Despite some limitations, the competency framework that has been developed can be used as a reference for educational interventions aimed at reducing complications related to CVCs" Ravot et al (2026).
"Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) locks have shown potential in reducing CRBSIs in adult populations, but data in pediatric patients with IF remain limited" Davis et al (2026).
"This study contributes to pediatric nursing science by providing objective, ultrasound-based evidence on the vascular effects of commonly used topical anesthetics and supports nurses' clinical decision-making in venous access management" Semeraro et al (2026).
"The findings highlight that although ChatGPT models can provide supportive information, their limitations in accuracy and completeness may pose risks for patient safety, particularly in critical domains such as aseptic technique and hand hygiene" Pehlivan et al (2026).
"Adherence to prevention guidelines for device-associated infections (DAIs) in intensive care units (ICUs) is critical but often suboptimal" Ghavidel-Sardsahra et al (2026).
"This study aimed to improve flagging of patients with difficult venous access and increase first-attempt intravenous catheter insertion in adult emergency department patients" Olmedo and Canamar (2026).
