"Overusing blood cultures (BCxs) can lead to false positives, unnecessary antibiotics, and increased healthcare costs. Despite studies on inpatient BCx algorithms, none have focused on cardiothoracic surgery (CTS) patients, with complex postoperative care and invasive devices" Seidelman et al (2024).
"Oral vancomycin is a first-line treatment for CDI. Vancomycin has been widely reported to induce flushing syndrome (also known as Red man syndrome), a well-known hypersensitivity reaction mostly occurs after intravenous administration. However, a few cases of flushing syndrome due to oral vancomycin have been reported" Zeng et al (2024).
"The predictive model for CRT developed using machine learning algorithms demonstrates good discrimination and clinical applicability among abdominal surgery patients, offering valuable guidance for CRT prevention strategies" Li et al (2025).
"In this study, we examined the mixed biofilm formed by Candida glabrata and Klebsiella pneumoniae, which were co-isolated from the same peripheral venous catheter" Benahmed et al (2025).
"This is a prospective observational study designed to develop an echocardiography-guided tip location program for central venous catheter (CVC) implantation, and to assess the feasibility and the accuracy of the program" Shen et al (2025).
"The peripheral intravenous catheter (IV) is the most common and painful invasive medical device in acute care settings. Our objective was to determine whether adding skin glue to secure IVs reduced catheter failure rate in children" Chauhan et al (2025).
"Through a participatory approach, we developed a set of IPC nursing practices for VAP and CLABSI. Implementing a multimedia tool, which encompasses the newly implemented IPC practices, improved compliance with many practices" Bijarania et al (2024).
"While the adoption of OPAT is increasing among Belgian hospitals, significant opportunities remain for improving the quality of the OPAT organisation and expanding the OPAT-related tasks of Belgian hospital pharmacists" Kaes et al (2025).
"Among adults and children who were referred for PICC placement, the risk of device failure due to noninfectious or infectious complications was not lower with hydrophobic or chlorhexidine PICCs than with standard polyurethane PICCs" Ullman et al (2025).
"The aim of the current study is to determine the rate of complications and patient outcomes when NE is administered through midline catheters (MCs) in intermediary care units (IMCUs)" Karlsson et al (2024).
"There is variability in personal hygiene recommendations to patients with CVCs, highlighting the need for high quality evidence in this area. A rigorous prospective study examining patient-reported outcomes and CVC-related infections is needed prior to recommending to patients with a CVC that showering is safe" Collins et al (2025).
"Pantoea eucrina, a member of the Erwiniaceae family, is a rarely reported human pathogen primarily associated with plants. This study presents a documented case of catheter-related bloodstream infection caused by P. eucrina in a 60-year-old female receiving home parenteral nutrition" Kølle et al (2025).
