"We believe the simple intervention described in this study has the potential to reduce PIVC-associated infections and improve the early detection of PIVC infiltration, thereby improving the quality of PIVC therapy" DeArmond et al (2026).
"Our infectious diseases (ID) clinic began a clinic-initiated outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (CI-OPAT) program to avoid unnecessary emergency department visits or inpatient admissions" McDonough et al (2026).
"Based on internationally standardized intravenous injection protocols, the system integrated optical hand tracking and speech recognition to quantify hand kinematics, spatial accuracy, procedural sequencing, and verbal compliance" Oak (2026).
"This validated nomogram, incorporating insertion site, WBC, PLT, Fib and HCA, aids early identification of high-risk infants. It offers actionable insights for optimizing PICC fixation and biochemical monitoring, potentially reducing PICC-UR in NICU" Hu et al (2026).
"The XGBoost model is an effective predictor of PICC-related thrombosis among sepsis patients, indicating its potential role in guiding clinical decision-making for the management of high-risk patients" Hao et al (2026).
"Reducing the CLABSI rate is achievable by QIP based on updated recommendations to improve the quality of care and outcomes for newborns. However, multiple challenges should be addressed to maintain a low CLABSI rate" Bouafia et al (2026).
"We evaluated patients discharged to skilled nursing facilities for outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT). Among 89 patients, discharge medication errors and OPAT-related interventions were common, including laboratory monitoring, therapeutic adjustments, and adverse event management" Mehta et al (2026).
"Replacing central venous catheters (CVCs) with midline catheters (MLCs), when clinically appropriate, has been proposed as a strategy to reduce the incidence of CLABSI cases" McGinnis et al (2026).
"Bathing with 2% CHG every 2 days for 12 months was associated with reduced HAIs and CAUTIs in the MICU. However, strict aseptic procedures still should be followed during routine care" Hsu et al (2026).
"This report presents a clinical case of a 37-year-old male with esophageal carcinoma and a totally implantable venous access device (Port-a-Cath), who developed fatal gas gangrene following chemotherapy" Kirov et al (2026).
New publication on The effectiveness of a multimedia education versus a standard education program in the self-management of central venous catheters for long-term use: A…
"No statistically significant differences were observed in pain scores, patient satisfaction, procedure duration, or complication rates between the two approaches. These findings suggest that omitting tunnel-site anesthesia may be feasible when a blunt-tip stylet is employed" Bolgen and Karluka (2026).
