Chlorhexidine bathing in ICU – Full Text

"This study evaluated the efficacy of daily 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) bathing in reducing HAI incidence, specifically CAUTI, CLABSI, and multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), in a 20-bed ICU at a regional hospital" Chang et al (2025).

Assessment of fluid responsiveness – Full Text

"In this meta-analysis, the ΔCaval index test showed higher diagnostic accuracy for fluid responsiveness compared with other venous tests. Caval and jugular indices displayed similar accuracy, and caval indices were consistent under mechanical ventilation and spontaneous breathing. Indices generally outperformed absolute values, except for IVCmin, which equaled the caval index in efficacy." Berikashvili et al (2025).

CVC exit-site infections – Full Text

"Hemodialysis vascular access predisposes patients to exit-site infections (ESIs) and bloodstream infections (BSIs), resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. The objective was to characterize hemodialysis catheter-related (CR) ESIs and BSIs while considering potential factors associated with infection" Lawrence et al (2025).

High-concentration potassium chloride extravasation – Full Text

"This case underscores the importance of careful selection and monitoring of infusion sites during administration of irritant solutions like concentrated KCl, particularly in geriatric patients. Patient-specific factors, pharmacological implications, and the necessity for adequate vascular assessment are emphasized" Li et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Intravenous admixture robot development – Full Text

"Due to its high sensitivity and rapid response characteristics, this study aims to develop a robot system for intravenous infusion based on nanophotonics sensing to realize accurate identification, grasping and opening of medicine bottles in a dynamic environment, so as to improve the safety and efficiency of intravenous infusion" Guochun et al (2025).
