"Higher quantity of reported indicators did not predict fewer readmissions. Future research should explore team engagement, including potential roles of hospitalists and social workers to strengthen care transitions, and the impact of continuation and outcome indicators on readmissions" Musuuza et al (2026).
"Delayed air entrainment may occur in the presence of fibrin sheath formation via reinforcement of a vein-to-dermis fistula, which can lead to air embolism several hours after line removal" Kanga et al (2026).
"The study results can provide a basis for the design of infusion pumps, help practitioners define the risks of use and the key content of training, and provide an important reference for the design of usability evaluation schemes for medical devices" Wan et al (2026).
New publication on Bleeding outcomes of a modified two-stage sheath–dilator technique for peripherally inserted central catheter placement in ICU patients: A retrospective cohort study from…
"Hypodermoclysis appears to be a feasible and generally safe hydration method in advanced cancer care, with complications typically minor" Alzahrani et al (2026).
"Based on the study findings, it highlights gaps in paediatric nurses' PIVC insertion and maintenance practice. Addressing these gaps requires targeted education and skill training, which can potentially lead to enhanced success rates for procedures, decrease complications, as well as increase the safety and quality of care given to critically ill paediatric patients" Alharbi (2026).
"The study revealed a disproportionately high incidence of CLABSI when compared with both developed and developing countries, with multi-drug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria being the predominant causative agents. Continuous surveillance, supported by infection control practices, e.g., hand hygiene and bundle compliance audits along with stringent antimicrobial stewardship, is vital in mitigating CLABSI" Verma et al (2026).
"This study aimed to assess trends of NSSIs among HCEs and their exposure to other infected body fluids, as well as to determine their risk factors" Joseph et al (2026).
"Catheter-related septic thrombophlebitis is a serious, yet underrecognized complication of CRBSI. It often presents as persistent or recurrent bacteremia and septic pulmonary embolism" Sathiavageesan et al (2026).
"A questionnaire to assess patients' risk of CLABSI-POA was developed based on four criteria. If any criteria were positive, two sets of blood cultures were obtained" Glauser et al (2026).
"Over 65 million alarms were analyzed. Infusions of antibacterials generated a higher percentage of "Door Open" and "Bolus Air in Line" alarms than were generated in the all-infusion sample" Armistead et al (2026).
"These cases illustrate that guidewire retention, albeit rare, can occur during arterial cannulation by the Seldinger technique and shares the same human-factor vulnerabilities long recognized in central venous access-related guidewire retention, including distraction, incomplete preparation and loss of wire control" da Silva et al (2026).
