"We conducted a nationwide survey (1 February 2024-6 February 2025) of microbiology laboratories across England and Scotland to assess BC pathways, turnaround times for organism identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), availability of rapid methods, operational hours, and result communication" Drury et al (2026).
"There was a low rate of serious complications, and no fatalities were associated with having a port. We conclude that the use of ports is a safe and important option for IV access, especially in patients receiving maintenance ECT" Entenman and Maixner (2026).
"Nurses agree on some, but not all, key issues related to aseptic technique. The decision to undertake aseptic technique appears to depend on the venue, experience, and perceptions of the invasiveness of the procedure" Hawker et al (2026).
"We evaluated the effect of active noise-canceling (ANC) earphones on the outcomes of pediatric peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion" Lee et al (2026).
"Surgical glove breaches may compromise the aseptic barrier and pose risks to surgical staff. Double gloving with an indicator system improves breach detection compared with similar colored double gloves or single gloving. This study evaluates the performance of market-leading indicator gloves for breach detection" Dziak et al (2026).
"This quality improvement project aimed to streamline orientation and reduce preceptor burden by implementing an electronic competency tracking platform, which organized nursing competencies into four progressive levels and enabled real-time documentation, resource linkage, and communication among preceptors, educators, and leadership" Caffrey and Scuralli (2026).
