Accordingly, we established partnerships to build and sustain dedicated IPC teams for two POUs in Ecuador and Guatemala" Acebo et al (2025).
"The aim of this retrospective, single-arm study is to assess the clinical outcome of using thrice-weekly teicoplanin (TWT) as outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) for deep (DSIs) and non-deep-seated infections (NDSIs)" Morena et al (2025).
"A multifaceted approach, including education, empowerment, and effective training, is crucial for successful self-cannulation. By incorporating individualized cannulation technique selection and comprehensive support, care providers can empower patients to adopt self-cannulation and HHD" Bermudez et al (2025).
"Using the example of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs), this article demonstrates how the A3's structured approach supports systematic and sustainable process improvement" Yaglowski (2025).
"The author reviews evidence-based strategies for preventing PVAD-related phlebitis and emphasises the need for standardised care protocols and ongoing staff training to support safer PVAD use and reduce the risk of phlebitis" Furtado (2025).
"Although persistent left superior vena cava is a rare anomaly, knowledge of its presence is important for the clinician in order to avoid complications associated with utilizing it for venous access, and to avoid unnecessary replacement for an uncomplicated catheter inserted in it" Heyba et al (2025).
"Together, the six-step instructions, hand model, videos, and trainer feedback provide a complementary training package that can be used to increase cannulation experience, confidence, and success immediately prior to cannulating a patient" Harper et al (2025).
"IV linezolid was frequently associated with early haematological toxicity, amplified by concomitant myelotoxic therapy. Sensitivity and exposure-proxy analyses support the robustness of the signal but highlight residual confounding; prospective studies with exposure monitoring are needed to establish causality" Güneş et al (2025).
"Our study found that peripheral venous catheter use for vasopressor administration in circulatory shock was associated with a low extravasation rate (1.2%), with all events occurring after more than five days, indicating it might be a safe alternative to CVC for short-term use in resource-limited settings" Petros et al (2025).
"This case series revisits endoluminal balloon dilatation, an emerging technique for removing hemodialysis catheters, to demonstrate its application and efficacy in retrieving long-term port-a-cath catheters complicated by fibrotic encapsulation, calcification, and stenosis" Thomas et al (2025).
"It may seem difficult to imagine signing up to receive an intravenous (IV) injection of a fluid that has no proven benefit at a facility that has no regulations to vouch for its safety, but that seems to be the unspoken business model of IV hydration spas" Schweitzer (2025).
"This study aimed to evaluate the clinical acceptability of complete blood count (CBC) measurements in blood samples drawn from PICC lines in oncology patients" Xue et al (2025).
