Implantable port removal outcomes pilot study

"The primary end point of any future research on TIVAD maintenance should primarily be focused on the functionality of the TIVAD. The CINAS classification effectively standardizes reporting of TIVAD functionality” Douchy et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Ultrasound-guided placement of central venous catheters in neonates

"We describe the insertion technique of an ultrasound-guided non-tunneled centrally inserted central catheter (CICC) placed in an extremely low-weight and extremely preterm neonate, adapting materials used for placing vascular access devices in the superficial veins of neonates” Rodriguez-Pere et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Femoral venous access port case study – Full Text

"In an adolescent male with relapsed primary mediastinal lymphoma, complicated by complete SVC obstruction, we report the placement of a port into the right femoral vein by interventional radiology” Lian et al (2025).

IVTEAM

AI-driven tool for CLABSI risk prediction

" The developed AI model shows strong potential for early CLABSI prediction using routine blood parameters. Future studies should focus on external validation and broader clinical application to enhance early infection prevention, particularly in resource-limited settings” Lahariya et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Contrast injection via implantable port

"To compare the contrast enhancement (CE) value, injection rate and contrast material (CM) volume with and without the implanted port system during dynamic hepatic computed tomography (CT) scan” Moriwake et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Patient satisfaction with implantable ports

"Patients expressed high satisfaction with low impact on comfort, psychological state and physical well-being. Maintenance experiences varied, highlighting the need for further investigation and a validated comprehensive questionnaire” Goossens et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Repeat CLABSI in the same patient

"Repeat CLABSI in the same patient is not uncommon and can contribute significantly to overall inpatient CLABSI rates. Prior CLABSI should be considered a risk factor for future CLABSI” Sotak et al (2025).

IVTEAM

OPAT drug stability data – Full Text

"The use of an elastomeric diffuser is favored to administer outpatient antibiotic therapy. A study published in 2022 highlighted the instability of several antibiotics in elastomeric devices at 37 °C. The objective was to evaluate the stability of nine time-dependent antibiotics that are unstable at 37 °C at lower concentrations and a reduced storage temperature of 32 °C” d’Huart et al (2025).

IVTEAM

PICC insertion length prediction formula

"The PICC insertion length prediction formula could reduce excessive deep tip positioning, but further measures are required to enhance tip placement in the superior vena cava” Okuwaki et al (2025).

IVTEAM

How to exchange a tunneled central venous catheter

"Patients with intestinal failure (IF) are dependent on tunneled central venous catheters (CVC) to provide parenteral nutrition. A method using a fibrous sheath (FS) was developed to preserve the central venous routes while exchanging CVC. We focused on the reduction of punctured catheter insertions for the FS method” Hashizume et al (2025).

IVTEAM

CLABSI rates in patients with major burns – Full Text

"This study aimed to investigate the effects of catheter types used in patients with major burns on bloodstream infections and to predict sepsis status and manage its prognosis using a procalcitonin biomarker” Çinar et al (2025).
