"It was feasible to identify and measure PIVC thrombus sonographically. Ultrasound showed that IV flucloxacillin administration appeared to be associated with more frequent formation of PIVC thrombus, with these increasing in length over time" Bulmer et al (2024).
"To evaluate and summarize the evidence for management exercise in patients with CVAD and provide guidance for clinical practice" Luo et al (2025).
"TIVAD implantation via the jugular vein under radiological guidance provides a safe, reliable and convenient means of long-term venous access in oncology patients" Tashi et al (2024).
"Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotic Therapy (OPAT) services have expanded throughout the world thanks to elastomeric pumps (EP). Their flowrate is known to vary by ±15%. Treatment effectiveness and the organization of care at home may be impacted, especially with piperacillin/tazobactam infusion (TAZ)" Muller et al (2025).
"The results show that multiple needle insertion attempts are common and that associated complications have a detrimental effect on patients' satisfaction with the procedure. The results also suggest that patients and nurses are interested in alternatives to needle insertion, such as ultrasound guided IV cannulation or needle-free blood collection" Kiger and Acito (2025).
"These findings suggest that ultrasound-guided PIVC insertion improves first-time insertion success across all risk categories in pediatrics, supporting the widespread adoption of ultrasound-guided PIVC insertion in children" Kleidon et al (2025).
"Decreasing ambient pressure causes bubble formation, which displaces fluid, and increasing ambient pressure causes bubble reabsorption in mechanical infusion devices. Hence, atmospheric pressure changes during air travel may alter fluid delivery from medical fluid delivery systems and affect critically ill patients who require both aeromedical evacuation and accurate infusion of drugs" Fan et al (2025).
"Patients in critical care units (CCUs) are at an increased risk of bloodstream infections (BSIs), which can be associated with central vascular catheters (CVCs). This study describes BSIs, CVC-BSIs, organism distribution, percentage of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) organisms, and case fatality rates (CFRs) over the first six years of a voluntary national CCU surveillance programme in England" Conroy et al (2025).
"PVC-related bacteraemias and the severity of infection remain an under-acknowledged and under-recognised topic within health care, with further research required" Brunn (2025).
"PIVCs often cause pain, irritation, or infection. Regular and careful catheter checks can decrease complications and improve patient outcomes" Ray-Barruel et al (2025).
"With pneumothorax being a key complication of CVC procedures, this research aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for optimizing imaging protocols and minimizing unnecessary imaging risks" Breitwieser et al (2024).
"Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and clinical review were used to characterize 14 cases of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) due to Staphylococcus epidermidis" Zhou et al (2025).
