"This study aimed to investigate the ability of NEWS2 ≥ 5p to identify sepsis, per Sepsis-3 criteria, among adult patients with community-acquired infection and positive blood cultures" Prytz et al (2025).
"Our data provide some evidence that following a temporary decline of CRBSI during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, CRBSI now returned to that observed in the pre-pandemic era" Schmidt-Hieber et al (2025).
"VAST presence was associated with greater use of escalation pathways and varied device type/technique such as ultrasound guided-PIVCs and midlines. However, limited staffing restricts the broader implementation of these benefits" Marsh et al (2026).
"This paper reviews the use of home intravenous antibiotics (IVABs) in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). We outline a program we developed during the COVID-19 pandemic for enhancing the experience for children and families by involving full multidisciplinary follow up via video for the duration of the antibiotic course" Collins et al (2025).
"The umbilical cord clamp method is a safe, single-operator alternative for UVC fixation. This technique had a low rate of catheter migration, did not increase the risk of infection, and was cost-effective and simple" Tomaszkiewicz et al (2025).
"A repeat X-ray unexpectedly showed the original line at an optimal position in the lower superior vena cava. The only difference was the baby’s arm position, which changed from being perpendicular to side-lying, prompting concern about whether limb position affects line tip interpretation" Pallickal and Pappa (2025).
"Storing WB at or above RT could have significant implications for prehospital and military transfusion practices and prevent its waste. This study determined if FWB stored above room temperature led to positive bacteria cultures" Stapleton et al (2025).
"A sustained reduction in CLABSI rates was achieved through a multifaceted approach integrating standardized surveillance, evidence-based bundles, and continuous audit-and-feedback" Pollack et al (2025).
"Through real-time monitoring and alert functions, the system facilitated the timely detection and management of infusion abnormalities, enhancing the quality of infusion management for patients, ensuring infusion safety, and improving patient satisfaction" Tong et al (2025).
"At two hospitals during the shortage, SEP-1 metric compliance declined related to BCx utilization. Review of cases where BCx were not obtained demonstrated most BCx were safely avoided without demonstrable patient harm" Ryder et al (2025).
"Physical injuries during anaesthesia occur in 15 per 10,000 cases, with higher ASA PS and after-hours procedures being significant risk factors. These findings support implementing enhanced protective protocols for high-risk patients and procedures to improve perioperative safety" Kok et al (2025).
"As an alternative, intravenous heparin was initiated at home via a chemotherapy port, using a portable infusion pump. This individualized approach was implemented without any major complications, and it may represent a practical option for patients with CAS who are either intolerant or refractory to conventional therapies" Kameda et al (2025).
