"In certain populations, particularly those with short bowel syndrome or with intestinal failure, preservation of vascular access is critical, as progressive loss of central venous access remains a major indication for intestinal transplantation and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality" Ian et al (2026).
"As this is an iatrogenic event, development of standardized practice guidelines for IM injections in premature infants is recommended, especially in the extremely preterm and low birth-weight population" Miller et al (2026).
"In this single-center matched cohort, no statistically significant differences in symptomatic DVT or CLABSI were observed between PICCs and CVCs" Wu et al (2026).
"By incorporating ultrasound as an extension of bedside vascular assessment, this protocol aims to reduce mechanical complications, minimize multiple puncture attempts, and improve procedural accuracy. This standardized approach promotes patient safety, reduces variability in clinical practice, and supports the implementation of ultrasound-guided PICC placement as an advanced, evidence-based nursing intervention across diverse healthcare settings" Oda et al (2026).
"Anthropometric parameter-based prediction formulas provide precise guidance for lower extremity PICC placement in VLBWI, enhancing placement success and safety" Li et al (2026).
"This case demonstrates the feasibility of stepwise dual-access endovascular techniques for retrieval of complex embolized PICC fragments from the pulmonary circulation, particularly in resource-constrained settings" Hassanali et al (2026).

"Although US-guided cannulation shows potential for increasing first-attempt success, the current evidence is limited by significant unit-of-analysis errors and clinical heterogeneity related to the operator learning curve" Chang et al (2026).
"This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a topical hemostatic product (StatSeal®, Biolife, LLC, Sarasota, Fl) on the frequency of dressing changes and catheter-associated complications following PICC insertion" Levit et al (2026).
"This study compared catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) outcomes and duration-modifying effects between gentamicin-heparin and heparin-only lock protocols" Tsai et al (20260.
"Although daily chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) bathing is recommended for patients with central venous catheters (CVCs), adherence is often inconsistent in non-intensive care unit (ICU) settings where device visibility and maintenance workflows may be less standardized" Nayyer et al (2026).
"In this large neonatal cohort, 26G SPCs were associated with a statistically longer dwell time than 24G SPCs, although the absolute difference was small. Therapy completion and complication rates were comparable between the groups, whereas first-attempt insertion success rates were higher with 26G SPCs" van Rens et al (2026).
