"The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Buzzy®, a vibrating cold device, to vapocoolant and control in reducing child-reported and parent-perceived pain during IV placement in the pediatric emergency department" Andrews et al (2025).
"A restrictive transfusion strategy significantly decreased the proportion of adults and children exposed to RBC transfusion. In most clinical contexts, there was no evidence of harm from a restrictive compared with a liberal transfusion strategy" Carson et al (2025).
"Managing central-line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) in children with long-term central venous catheters (CVC) is challenging. Catheter salvage strategy (CSS) can be attempted when intravenous therapy is essential, though it lacks standardization" Pellegrino et al (2025).
"The extravasation of therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals presents a risk of radiation-induced injury. The recent rise in the use of therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals has highlighted the need for a better understanding of the consequences of extravasation and different treatment approaches, which are summarized in this systematic review" Gebruers et al (2025).
"This validated nomogram integrates patient, catheter, and biomarker-specific factors to individualize PICC-CRBSI risk stratification in hematologic malignancies, potentially guiding targeted prevention strategies" Guo et al (2025).
"The collective body of evidence supports the widespread adoption of ultrasound-guided peripheral IV cannulation as an evidence-based best practice in modern healthcare" Bruant and Normand (2025).
"Necrotizing soft-tissue infection (NSTI) is a rare yet potentially fatal condition, particularly in pediatric patients. We report the first known case of a previously healthy 1-year and 7-month-old boy who developed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) NSTI following peripheral venous catheter (PVC) insertion" Mao et al (2025).
"PICCs represent a useful and safe frontline central vascular approach for patients with chronic hematologic diseases, with a thrombotic risk profile comparable to that reported with centrally inserted totally implantable venous access devices (TIVADs)" Giordano et al (2025).
"There is a growing global interest in plastic cannulae for haemodialysis vascular access. Although emerging evidence points to potential clinical and economic advantages, widespread adoption remains limited due to logistical challenges and higher initial costs" Schoch et al (2025).
"This three-arm study demonstrated that squishy toy squeezing and palpation techniques improve first-attempt peripheral IV catheter placement success, reduce insertion attempts and procedure time, and minimize complications in pediatric hematology and oncology patients with DIVA" Gürcan et al (2025).
"Sleep-related variables and workload in nurses are associated with the occurrence of NSIs. Implementing reasonable shift systems and reducing workload should be priorities for institutions to protect the health of their workers" Fernández-Puerta et al (2025).
"This study suggests that ultrasound-guided PICC insertion at bedside may have comparable procedural outcomes with potentially reducing the risks associated with intra-hospital patient transport compared with fluoroscopy-guided placement" Kim et al (2025).
