"With more consistent availability of US machines across many institutions, their use for PIV placement is becoming commonplace, with several types of clinicians performing the procedure. Novice proceduralists and those in training may encounter technical challenges that may impede successful PIV cannulation" Moustaqim-Barrette et al (2025).
"To evaluate whether our new protocol that uses a saline test injection and a leak detection sensor (LDS) reduces the frequency and amount of contrast media (CM) extravasation during the intravenous CM administration for CT" Matsumoto et al (2025).
"CLABSI detection by AI methods was at least as accurate as traditional methods, better liked by experts, faster and less variable. AI-assisted review could improve healthcare-associated infection reporting" Morgan et al (2025).
"This study assesses the impact of 70% isopropyl alcohol-impregnated disinfecting caps on microbial colonization of needleless connectors (NCs) and extension set lumens" Devrim et al (2025).
"For the vulnerable population dependent on renal replacement therapy via renal hemodialysis catheters, 4% T-EDTA shows promise as a catheter lock solution, given no notable increase in CR-BSI or dysfunction, and a major reduction in post-catheter insertion bleeding was observed" McKey et al (2025).
"By developing comprehensive, evidence-informed expert recommendations, the Michigan Appropriateness Guide for Intravenous Catheters in Adult Patients With Cancer (MAGIC-ONC) aims to improve clinical care, reduce complications, support quality improvement efforts, and advance the safety of vascular access for patients with cancer" Major et al (2025).
"Tunneled PICCs may provide a safer and more stable vascular access option than conventional PICCs in oncology patients. Further prospective studies are warranted" Lu et al (2025).
"This study aimed to explore the nursing practices related to peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU)" Dorea et al (2025).
"Because the CVC bundle including mechanical valve-type needle-free connectors and prefilled flushing syringes significantly reduced the CLABSI rates in the PSICU, it should be implemented in pediatric surgical ICUs as well as ICUs for other patient groups" Devrim et al (2025).
"This framework introduces a practical differentiation between short- and longer-term peripheral venous catheters, addressing a major oversight in existing guidelines and supporting context-sensitive vascular access decisions" Drugeon et al (2025).
"Extravasation from peripheral intravenous cannulation may sometimes go undetected in critical care units, as patients may not be able to communicate the pain due to sedation and mechanical ventilation" Babu et al (2025).
"The aim of this study was to compare thrombus formation and microbial adhesion on catheters made from hydrophilic biomaterial (HBM), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), and fluorinated TPU" LeRoy and Donahue (2025).
