Accidental removal of medical devices

"The nasoenteral catheter was the most frequently removed device (44.4%), followed by the central venous catheter (11.4%), the indwelling bladder catheter (9.0%), and the peripheral venous catheter (6.9%)” Oliveira et al (2025).

Catheter-related infection risk factors

"For uncuffed, non-tunneled dual-lumen catheters used for dialysis vascular access, the jugular insertion site does not demonstrate a reduced risk of CRBSI compared to the femoral site. However, jugular catheter placement is associated with a longer dwelling time and a lower mortality rate.” Phatpituk et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Impact of exercise during chemotherapy infusion

"The findings of this study suggest that low-intensity exercise during chemotherapy infusion in breast cancer patients is feasible and well-tolerated, providing a positive experience without adverse effects on mood” Dantas et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Hand motion of operators associated with central venous access

"The access phase of simulated central venous access can best differentiate between experts and trainees. This sample of hand motion performance may be able to simplify motion analysis of technical performance and obviate the need for recording hand motion for the entire procedure” Weinstein et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Needle-free connector evaluation

"This study examined the performance of various NFC technologies with PICC and Midline. While no device eliminates BV, positive displacement NFCs showed lower flow reflux compared to the others when used with PICC. No difference between clamping sequences was observed for neutral and anti-reflux NFCs” Privitera et al (2025).

Peripheral intravenous cannula removal in children

"To determine the effects of using an alcohol-free, silicone-based adhesive remover spray and squeezing a stress ball on pain and fear of pain during the removal of peripheral intravenous cannulas and fixation materials (acrylate-based hypoallergenic adhesives) in children aged 6-9 years” Guzel Polat et al (2025).

Blood culture diagnostic stewardship model – Full Text

"The medical community recently experienced a severe shortage of blood culture media bottles. Rates of blood stream infection (BSI) among critically ill children are low. We sought to design a machine learning (ML) model able to identify children at low risk for BSI to improve blood culture diagnostic stewardship” Martin et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Tunneling of centrally inserted central venous catheters

"The purpose of this article is to present a tunneling technique that allows the repositioning of the catheter exit site to the infraclavicular fossa using only the materials included in standard CICC kits” Benvenuti et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Intravenous smart pump review

"The first programmable infusion pumps were invented over 50 years ago, but their adoption in hospitals was slow, and their initial functions were limited to basic programming in milliliters per hour” Blake et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Safety-engineered port access needles – Full Text

"We have shown significant differences regarding product characteristics of safety mechanisms of port access needles. Our evaluation approach provides specific data for both, technical (e.g., single-handed activation) and personal device selection criteria (e.g., preference of the safety mechanism)” Gabler et al (2025).
