"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).
"Currently, modified midlines and peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are used frequently. The present retrospective research aims to assess the use, efficacy, and complications due to modified midlines and PICCs in the treatment of patients in a medical ICU" Long et al (2025).
"For small-for-gestational-age infants receiving hypertonic/irritant medications like TPN, central venous access should be prioritized. It is crucial to formulate specific emergency protocols for neonatal TPN extravasation and incorporate them into nurse training" Li et al (2025).
"This paper describes an insertion bundle-developed by GAVeCeLT, the Italian Group of Long-Term Venous Access Devices, and nicknamed "SIC-Port" (Safe Insertion of Chest-Port)-which consists of few evidence-based strategies aiming to further minimize all immediate, early, or late complications potentially associated with chest-port insertion" Brescia et al (2025).
"Preparing families to care for children with intestinal failure in the home may bolster caregiver preparedness but also impose a significant burden. Developing programs that offer optimal training, support, and interventions for caregivers can help alleviate stress and improve outcomes for both children and their families" Davis et al (2025).
"Elastomeric pump-based OPAT is a clinically effective, well-tolerated, and economically advantageous option for selected infections. Its integration into stewardship programs supports broader implementation within modern, sustainable infectious disease care models" Babich et al (2025).
"This study aimed to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics and long-term trends of bloodborne occupational exposure (BOE) among healthcare workers (HCWs) in a tertiary hospital in China from 2012 to 2022 (11 years) and evaluate BOE-associated factors during COVID-19 pandemic" Wang et al (2025).
"Increased frequency of CVC access is associated with a higher risk of CLABSI. Interventions to reduce CVC access for blood draws can effectively lower CLABSI rates. Identifying and implementing strategies such as use of phlebotomy teams and standardized sampling protocols may help guide hospital policies and improve patient safety outcomes" Davis et al (2025).
"Given an increase in central-line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) since the COVID-19 pandemic and low compliance with the CLABSI prevention bundle among intensive care unit (ICU) registered nurses (RNs), it is imperative to identify barriers to implementation in the critical care setting" Nguyen et al (2025).
"This study underscores the high prevalence of CRBSIs and the concerning presence of molecular resistance markers in key pathogens. The predominance of carbapenemase genes such as blaNDM, blaKPC, and OXA variants highlights the urgent need for molecular diagnostics and robust antibiotic stewardship in India" Reddy et al (2025).
"A multimodal intervention significantly reduced CLABSI rates in the PICU, demonstrating the importance of comprehensive strategies in infection prevention. However, sustained compliance is essential to maintain these improvements" Subroongruang et al (2025).
