"Improving adherence to hub disinfection, along with catheter care and maintenance protocols, is essential for the prevention of CRIs. Further, innovative approaches for simplifying protocols and "forcing function" may increase compliance with CRBSI prevention strategies" Gilmore et al (2025).
"For ultrasound-guided central venous cannulation the magnetic needle positioning technique is associated with higher success rate for out of plane cannulation approach and less complications in comparison to conventional ultrasound" Natalia et al (2025).
"About 36% of catheters fail before treatment completion, in part because of their insertion into veins not large enough to accommodate them. Peripheral veins, especially those in the hand and wrist, are typically narrow (1.8–2.3-mm diameter); this can be influenced by factors including previous vessel damage and sex (e.g. male veins are ∼0.5-mm greater in diameter in the hand than female veins)" Marsh et al (2025).
"We recommend that a threshold of 9.5 kg/cm2 be set for the maximum injection pressure when placing an intravenous line in the median cubital vein to efficiently reduce extravasation of the contrast media" Koori et al (2025).
"Here we report an analysis of CLABSI risk factors in patients with CV ports at our institution" Ishikawa et al (2025).
"To determine the accuracy measures of clinical indicators of Nursing Diagnosis (ND) of the International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP)®, Adverse Location of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)" Prado et al (2025).
"TOptimising discharge instructions and patient education strategies for these factors may improve patients' readiness for discharge, reduce the risk of PICC-related complications, and improve outcomes" Pan et al (2025).
"With the rise of antibiotic resistance and the emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), there is a growing concern about the relationship between MDROs and CRBSI" Li et al (2025).
"In this study, we investigated which venodilatation method is most appropriate for hypotensive patients, a group in whom vascular access is predicted to be difficult" Şirin et al (2025).
"Whole guidewire retention occurs in 1:3167 procedures. While training and current policies prevent most whole guidewire retentions, they do not stop the error from occurring and rely on removing human error consistently across thousands of procedures to prevent a single event. A safety-engineered mechanism of error prevention is required that applies to any clinical environment, is impervious to distraction or interruption, and does not rely on clinician memory to ensure guidewire removal" Mariyaselvam et al (2025).
"The use of vascular ports in oncology patients for the administration of irritating and chemotherapeutic drugs clearly solves the problem of peripheral vascular damage caused by oncological drugs, and at the same time provides a comfortable way of treating patients in the long term" Olszewska et al (2025).
"We aimed to characterize the appropriateness of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in hospitalized infants and to explore the feasibility of a randomized clinical trial (RCT) of antiplatelet therapy to prevent CRT in these infants" Chegondi et al (2025).
