"Obtaining central venous access is a priority in the management of every critically ill patient, since it provides a more stable access than peripheral vascular access and allows the administration of several drugs simultaneously (multi-lumen catheters), even irritating medications, and the performance of techniques (such as dialysis with a proper catheter)" Veiga et al (2026).
"The online training program significantly improved nurses' theoretical knowledge and reduced complications related to Midline devices. However, to achieve a broader impact on VAD-associated complications, structured and continuous training programs are needed" Aula et al (2026).
"Our study demonstrates a higher incidence of CRBSI in the Heparin group compared to the Taurolock solution and a similar effectiveness of the Taurolock solution in preventing catheter dysfunction over Heparin" Jeelani et al (2026).
"Difficult venous access (DVA) affects 10-26% of hospitalized patients and up to 60% in high-risk populations, leading to increased patient discomfort, delayed diagnosis, and substantial healthcare costs estimated at $4.7 billion annually in the United States" Mussa et al (2026).
"This study suggests that non-contrast TTE shows reasonable consistency with IC-ECG, with short operation time and acceptable patient discomfort. TTE may serve as a feasible, real-time, non-invasive alternative for patients in whom IC-ECG cannot be used" Xin et al (2026).
A new publication on Blood transfusion using 26-gauge short peripheral catheters: In vitro experiments and clinical observations in adult patients with hematological diseases from the…
"In this case report, we describe a simple bedside method for precise localization of the bleeding spot and targeted placement of a compression suture to arrest exit site bleeding from a TDC" Sathiavageesan (2026).
"This review explores the complex, intricately intertwined pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this relationship in patients with acute leukemia. Catheter bacterial colonization, frequently reinforced by biofilm formation, and bloodstream infections provoke immunothrombosis, playing a part in local infection management" Alsuliman et al (2026).
"We provide a comparative analysis of lock agents, contrasting the broad lytic potential of ethanol (the "nuclear option") with the safety profile of taurolidine and the pharmacological nuances of amphotericin B and echinocandins" Shi et al (2026).
"We assessed the accuracy of a large language model (LLM) for clinical decision support for central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) identification" Stevenson et al (2026).
"Our findings suggest that intracardiac thrombosis may develop silently in patients with long-term central venous catheters, supporting consideration of routine echocardiographic screening in high-risk subgroups" Arslan et al (2026).
"Implementing a standardized smartphrase for daily central line necessity review is a feasible and effective strategy to promote adherence to best practices. The expansion into a system-wide smart link reflects strong provider engagement and institutional support. This approach holds promise for reducing central line days and improving patient safety outcomes" Haney et al (2026).
