"Neonatal exposure to pain can lead to altered pain perception in later years of life. Despite the availability of measures to alleviate pain, routine use is lacking. We decided to conduct a quality improvement (QI) study to increase the use of analgesia during venipuncture, a common procedure in neonatal intensive care units, from a baseline of 0% to 50% over 8 weeks" Shah et al (2025).
"This study demonstrates that the use of 1.35% taurolidine significantly reduces the rate of recurrent CRBSIs and CVC removals due to CRBSIs compared to 0.9% saline in adult patients with CIF reliant on HPS" Nerstrøm et al (2025).
"Digitalised interventions for CLABSI prevention seem to be effective in reducing infection rates, likely because of increasing compliance to established guidelines for CLABSI prevention" Obama et al (2025).
"The primary objective of this review is to evaluate the performance of PVBGA by comparing it with the reference standard ABGA, which is assumed to be error-free for the diagnosis of (1) respiratory failure, (2) hypercarbia, and (3) metabolic disturbance (the three target conditions) in adults" Byrne et al (2025).
"In a low-COVID-19-burden secondary care teaching hospital setting, blood culture contamination rates have progressively increased over the past decade, irrespective of the pandemic. These findings underscore the importance of sustained vigilance in infection prevention and control practices, strict adherence to blood culture collection protocols, and the ongoing need for staff training" Jeverica et al (2025).
"Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) is often withheld from individuals with substance use disorder (SUD), despite evidence suggesting similar outcomes. We investigated this using a large, nationwide claims database" Rogers et al (2025).
"The educational intervention effectively improved ICU nurses' knowledge regarding CLABSI prevention but did not significantly change their attitudes. Tailoring interventions to demographic characteristics may further enhance their effectiveness and contribute to better patient outcomes and healthcare quality" Alzoubi et al (2025).
"To evaluate the impact of patient empowerment in reducing the incidence density (ID) of CLABSI" Reghini et al (2025).
"After combined implementation of SSS and initial specimen diversion (ISDT) in our region, we evaluated the proportion of sampling events with at least four bottles, with growth of relevant pathogens and with growth of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) before and after the intervention" Oldberg et al (2025).
"We hypothesized that resident physicians would prefer a simulation model with high functional task alignment over a model with higher superficial resemblance and lower functional task alignment in central venous catheter placement training" Gomaa et al (2025).
"There is considerable practice variation among ED physicians for the management of positive blood cultures in children across Canada. Incongruencies in the perceived impact of clinical factors on the likelihood of a true bacteremia, such as time-to-positivity, highlight the need for a standardized decision-making tool" Gouin et al (2025).
"This bicentric, retrospective study aims to compare the surgical vein cut-down approach with ultrasound-guided percutaneous vein puncture in terms of procedural success, complication rates, and operative efficiency" Fassari et al (2025).
