"Repeat CLABSI in the same patient is not uncommon and can contribute significantly to overall inpatient CLABSI rates. Prior CLABSI should be considered a risk factor for future CLABSI” Sotak et al (2025).
"The use of an elastomeric diffuser is favored to administer outpatient antibiotic therapy. A study published in 2022 highlighted the instability of several antibiotics in elastomeric devices at 37 °C. The objective was to evaluate the stability of nine time-dependent antibiotics that are unstable at 37 °C at lower concentrations and a reduced storage temperature of 32 °C” d’Huart et al (2025).
"The PICC insertion length prediction formula could reduce excessive deep tip positioning, but further measures are required to enhance tip placement in the superior vena cava” Okuwaki et al (2025).
"Patients with intestinal failure (IF) are dependent on tunneled central venous catheters (CVC) to provide parenteral nutrition. A method using a fibrous sheath (FS) was developed to preserve the central venous routes while exchanging CVC. We focused on the reduction of punctured catheter insertions for the FS method” Hashizume et al (2025).
"In this review, we examine the current landscape of OPAT practice across the United Kingdom (UK), assessing its clinical, economic, and operational impact” Durojaiye et al (2025).
"This study aimed to investigate the effects of catheter types used in patients with major burns on bloodstream infections and to predict sepsis status and manage its prognosis using a procalcitonin biomarker” Çinar et al (2025).
"While our team at the University of Florida utilized point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) to confirm procedural accuracy, the primary aim of this publication is to equip clinicians with a practical, landmark-based method for obtaining blood samples” VerHage et al (2025).
"In this review, we aim to evaluate the strengths and limitations of the most significant studies on FUBCs in GN-BSIs, proposing a more personalized approach for using FUBCs in GN-BSIs” Tziolos and Kofteridis (2025).
"Here, we conduct independent evaluation testing of one such device, the Vu-Path™ Ultrasound Guidance system, or Vu-Path™. The device was designed to simplify needle insertion using a needle holder that ensures the needle is within the ultrasound field of view during its insertion into tissue, along with guidance lines shown on the user interface” Hernandez Torres et al (2024).
"We present a case of vascular extravasation of magnesium sulfate, not known for causing tissue damage, which led to significant vascular injury” Bilodeau et al (2025).
"The integration of ultrasound-guided vascular access into routine emergency protocols could enhance patient safety, satisfaction, and procedural efficiency in emergency care settings” Peralta-Gámez et al (2025).
"To identify risk factors for catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) in cancer patients, we compared 200 CRBSI cases to 400 controls” Haddad et al (2025).
