"This study revealed a high prevalence of extravasation among patients receiving anthracyclines and vinca alkaloids, along with major deficiencies in management practices" Alzahman et al (2026).
"Totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAP) provide safe and com-fortable venous access for chemotherapy. This study evaluates the reliability of Lum's measurement technique for central venous catheter tip positioning and its impact on complications" Akpolat et al (2026).
"This case underscores the importance of careful catheter position assessment and highlights the conditional but critical role of CT in accurately diagnosing dangerous PICC malposition" Oshima et al (2026).
"Findings from this review suggest that non-pharmacological interventions may serve as effective, safe, and feasible adjuncts for pain management during peripheral venous cannulation" Romańczuk et al (2026).
"This article provides a review of the critical role of the nurse in identifying risks and applying best practices in NC care, including disinfection, clamping, flushing, and timely replacement" Moureau and Gorski (2026).
"To evaluate whether, in children treated in paediatric intensive care units (PICU) with peripheral venous access devices (PVADs) receiving intermediate- or high-risk peripheral intravenous medications, the use of a tissue-infiltration biosensor (ivWatch), compared to standard care, reduces extravasation injuries" McBride et al (2026).
"In both adult and pediatric cohorts, patients with PIVC-associated complications had significantly higher total hospitalization cost, LOS, and 30-day readmission risks than those without complications" Moon et al (2026).
"Prolonged catheter use and femoral insertion are major modifiable risk factors for CABSI in hemodialysis patients. With Gram-negative pathogens like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and MRSA predominantly responsible, targeted empirical antimicrobial strategies and early arteriovenous fistula creation are crucial to mitigate infection risks in resource-limited settings" Faheem et al (2026).
"In this study, one-third of PIVCs were non-indicated and were mainly associated with low-acuity clinical presentations and organisational factors. These findings highlight substantial opportunities to improve the appropriateness of PIVC use in emergency care" Drugeon et al (2026).
New publication on Totally implanted vascular access devices-related infections in oncology and hematology: A retrospective single-center study from the Journal of Vascular Access Totally implanted…
"Our findings suggest that MCs increased CRVT risk and reduced the CRBSIs risk relative to PICCs. These findings can help guide future analyses and direct comparative RCTs to further characterize the efficacy and risks of PICCs vs midline catheters" Tian et al (2026).
"PIVO significantly reduced blood culture contamination and demonstrated strong feasibility in a high-acuity emergency department" Skuras and Curylo (2026).
