"The audit highlighted inconsistent adherence to national recommendations for PIVC care. While some practices seem well integrated, others are insufficiently applied. These findings underscore the need to investigate barriers to adherence to evidence-based guidelines" Gardes et al (2025).
"It is important that home care nurses and other clinicians appreciate the supportive care needs of individuals living with a vascular access device and their families" Sharp et al (2025).
"The findings show a considerable underreporting of NSIs, especially among non-nursing professions. There is an urgent need to implement strategies that promote reporting practices, including awareness campaigns and efficient reporting systems" El-Saed et al (2025).
"Perioperative fluid conservation led to an overall 68% reduction in intravenous fluid utilization in one month. Compared with the 3 prior months, rates of intraoperative hemodynamic instability, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and recovery times were similar" Clark et al (2025).
"This case demonstrates that S. epidermidis can induce severe glomerular lesions through fibrin deposition within an extraordinarily short timeframe, contrasting dramatically with the immune complex-mediated injury typically observed in long-term CVC use" Kono et al (2025).
"Unplanned CVC removal occurred in 5.71% of cases, primarily due to infection. Identified risk factors (male gender, neurological disorders, and mechanical ventilation) and protective factors (urgent insertion) highlight targets for preventive strategies in critical care" He et al (2025).
"The safety of administering vasopressors through peripheral venous catheters (PVCs) remains controversial, primarily due to concerns regarding extravasation, thrombosis, and catheter-related infections. This study aimed to systematically summarize the prevalence of these complications through a meta-analysis" Wu et al (2025).
"The study reveals significant age-related variability in the proximal tibia's anatomical dimensions, suggesting that standard 15 and 25 mm intraosseous needles may not reliably achieve optimal placement in pediatric patients" Rajan et al (2025).
"With the purpose of better delineating contributing factors for a ubiquitous occupational injury among healthcare workers, we undertook a two-component study of SNSIs among physician residents and nurses at an academic medical center" Krainev et al (2025).
"Here, we report a case of incidental diagnosis of persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) during the implantation of chest wall IV port after rectal cancer surgery" Yang et al (2025).
"In an acute setting, especially in unstable patients, the intravenous (IV) route of Amiodarone administration is preferred; however, it is not risk-free. One of the lesser-known but potentially serious complications of the intravenous route is extravasation, where the drug leaks into surrounding tissue" Rojony et al (2025).
