"Simplifying home-based antimicrobial regimens may improve OPAT outcomes. Early identification of risk factors for OPAT treatment failure and loss to follow-up can optimize patient management and reduce adverse outcomes" Worsham Behal et al (2025).
"Our analysis shows that the lock solutions studied managed to eradicate intraluminal mature P. aeruginosa in non-tunneled HD catheters under standard conditions. Biofilm inhibition and eradication were observed at low gentamicin concentrations, which could optimize the gentamicin concentration in lock solutions used in HD catheters" Salas-Treviño et al (2025).
"This article discusses the most common complications associated with CVC insertion, nursing assessments for patients with CVCs, and overall nursing management practices" Pezzotti (2025).
"BSIs remain a major issue in patients receiving HD, contributing to prolonged hospitalisations and high mortality rates. HD access-associated BSIs account for a substantial proportion of BSIs and remain a pertinent target for intervention" Bryce et al (2025).
"The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a simple and inexpensive impregnated dressing (intervention) compared to a non-impregnated dressing in reducing catheter-related infections among critically ill patients using vancomycin and chlorhexidine" Lessa et al (2025).
"Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are becoming an increasingly utilised alternative to traditional central venous access devices. Their uptake, particularly among oncology patients, is due to their growing ease of access, suitability for medium-term use and perceived safety profile" Kalma and van Zundert (2025).
"This study aimed to develop and internally validate predictive models for catheter dysfunction using routinely collected haemodialysis session data, with the goal of facilitating early detection and proactive clinical decision-making" Gimeno-Hernán et al (2025).
"This review provides a detailed synopsis of CLABSIs in children, including the definition, pathogenesis, risk factors, prevention, and treatment principles" Bavare et al (2025).
"Optimal tCVC tip positioning remains a clinical challenge with significant implications for patient outcomes. Integration of advanced imaging techniques and AI could enhance accuracy and safety, while further data are needed to clarify the role of malposition in central venous stenosis" Noce et al (2025).
"The purpose of this work was to evaluate for differences in infusion unit nurses' ratings of predictors of difficult intravenous access (DIVA) based on whether they cared for patients with solid tumours versus hematologic malignancies" Alfaro et al (2025).
"This study investigated the effectiveness of a Bluetooth-enabled haptic device (BHD) in reducing pain sensitivity and improving patient satisfaction during needle procedures" Rodriguez et al (2025).
"Limited infusion capacity could impede AD treatment access and result in avoidable disability progression. Expansion of capacity is needed in the short run until treatments with alternative routes of administration become available" Chen et al (2025).
