"This study identifies a clear discrepancy between clinical guidelines and actual practice. Many ACF insertions appear to be based on incorrect assumptions rather than confirmed clinical need. The findings highlight the need for more targeted, evidence-based decision-making in EDs" Xu et al (2026).
"Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) rarely develop true knots, but when they do, forceful removal can precipitate catheter fracture and embolization. Bedside strategies that restore internal support before extraction may prevent escalation to invasive retrieval" Ramacciani Isemann et al (2026).
"The suboptimal adherence to current VA recommendations and wide variability in catheter care practices including the prevention, diagnosis, and management of CRBSI highlight the need for standardized pediatric-specific protocols to enhance catheter longevity and improve patient outcomes" Bakkaloğlu et al (2026).
"This reflective essay explores therapeutic silence and attuned presence as holistic nursing interventions that support emotional, relational, and spiritual well-being for individuals receiving cancer treatment" Desy (2026).
"Patients who inject drugs (PWID) may self-inject illicit substances into vascular access devices (SIVAD). This behavior can lead to complications, including overdose and death" Bragg et al (2026).
"CVC placement in adults with coagulopathy or thrombocytopenia is generally safe. Ultrasound guidance, restrictive transfusion thresholds, and thromboelastography-guided assessment enhance procedural safety and reduce unnecessary transfusions" Mumoli et al (2025).
"Ochrobactrum intermedium was isolated from all catheter lumens and blood cultures. Due to a documented history of vascular access failure, catheter salvage was the primary goal. A combined systemic antibiotic and lock therapy with meropenem and unfractionated heparin was initiated" Rodrigues et al (2026).
"In this quasi-experimental study, 80 patients were allocated to receive either a preoperative mini-midline catheter (intervention group) or conventional PIVCs (control group)" Xu et al (2026).
"Verifying correct tip position in infants and toddlers is challenging because of very small anatomic target zones, non-standard radiograph acquisition, interference from other devices, low contrast, and high risk of catheter migration" Yin et al (2026).
"Ultrasound and landmark-guided TDC placement without fluoroscopy proved safe and effective, with low complication rates and reliable function" Kakareko et al (2025).
"A single one-hour mixed-modality US-PIVC teaching session, delivered using existing hospital resources, was associated with substantial improvements in self-reported confidence and self-reported clinical application among respondents" Burridge et al (2025).
"Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) coordination is challenging in multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO)-infected patients. The study purpose was to describe barriers and medication costs associated with OPAT utilizing therapies for MDRO" Boettcher et al (2025).
