"Our findings suggest that intense immunosuppression in the setting of SOT is not associated with an increased risk of CRBSI in patients with renal failure utilizing TDC especially when a consistent and standardized protocol for the access and care of these catheters is utilized” El Mouhayyar et al (2025).
"We aimed to evaluate the effect of projection mapping (PM) on the quality and safety of central venous catheter (CVC) insertion under real-time ultrasound guidance” Miyazaki et al (2025).
"Infrared vein visualization (IVV) is a known technique commonly used for superficial vein mapping and peripheral venous access. This technical report explores the combined use of IVV and USG for CVC placement” Patankar (2025).
"Utilizing IC-ECG instead of X-ray guidance (CXR or fluoroscopy) for medium and long term CVAD tip location (PICC and port) has resulted in significant cost reduction. This strategy should strongly be considered for improving the cost-effectiveness of CVADs implantation” Pinelli et al (2025).
"Interprofessional CLABSI reduction efforts can be effective in a cardiac surgical intensive care unit and improve patient safety. Keys to success include teamwork, accountability, acceptance from intensive care unit staff, and support from hospital executive leaders” Mazzeffi et al (2025).
"This review highlights a persistent gap between knowledge and adherence to CLABSI prevention practices among ICU nurses. Strengthening education, institutional support, and diagnostic strategies is essential to reduce infection rates and improve patient safety” Alqaissi (2025).
"This study aimed to develop a mobile care application for peripherally inserted central catheter maintenance, which incorporated five functions: data recording, health education, image uploading, regular reminders, and online consultation” Zheng et al (2025).
"Normal saline infusions have been proposed as an alternative for extending cannula lifespan. This study aims to address the clinical need for data on blood collection techniques in healthy participants” Lubila et al (2025).
"To explore intravenous drug compatibility information needs of National Health Service (NHS) Injectable Medicines Guide ('Medusa') users. To develop consensus expert recommendations on the intravenous drug compatibility information that Medusa should include” Aguado Lorenzo and Jones (2025).
"Antimicrobial lock therapy can be considered a treatment option for managing CRBSIs, particularly in cases where removal of the implantable catheter is not feasible, allowing for salvage” Aksoy et al (2025).
"Implantable port catheters are vital for cancer treatment, but complications such as infections and mechanical failures pose challenges. Lymphoma and leukemia patients' unique cellular abnormalities may influence these risks. This study aimed to determine whether the underlying disease or varying degrees of cytopenia increase the risk of unplanned early port removal” Lu et al (2025).
"This study revealed significant variation in OPAT practice. Further study is needed to understand the reasons for these differences and whether better alignment of practice could improve patient outcomes, antimicrobial stewardship practice and resource utilization” Wolie et al (2025).
