"In a low-COVID-19-burden secondary care teaching hospital setting, blood culture contamination rates have progressively increased over the past decade, irrespective of the pandemic. These findings underscore the importance of sustained vigilance in infection prevention and control practices, strict adherence to blood culture collection protocols, and the ongoing need for staff training" Jeverica et al (2025).
"Outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) is often withheld from individuals with substance use disorder (SUD), despite evidence suggesting similar outcomes. We investigated this using a large, nationwide claims database" Rogers et al (2025).
"The educational intervention effectively improved ICU nurses' knowledge regarding CLABSI prevention but did not significantly change their attitudes. Tailoring interventions to demographic characteristics may further enhance their effectiveness and contribute to better patient outcomes and healthcare quality" Alzoubi et al (2025).
"To evaluate the impact of patient empowerment in reducing the incidence density (ID) of CLABSI" Reghini et al (2025).
"After combined implementation of SSS and initial specimen diversion (ISDT) in our region, we evaluated the proportion of sampling events with at least four bottles, with growth of relevant pathogens and with growth of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) before and after the intervention" Oldberg et al (2025).
"We hypothesized that resident physicians would prefer a simulation model with high functional task alignment over a model with higher superficial resemblance and lower functional task alignment in central venous catheter placement training" Gomaa et al (2025).
"There is considerable practice variation among ED physicians for the management of positive blood cultures in children across Canada. Incongruencies in the perceived impact of clinical factors on the likelihood of a true bacteremia, such as time-to-positivity, highlight the need for a standardized decision-making tool" Gouin et al (2025).
"This bicentric, retrospective study aims to compare the surgical vein cut-down approach with ultrasound-guided percutaneous vein puncture in terms of procedural success, complication rates, and operative efficiency" Fassari et al (2025).
"The study underscores the importance of national registries in monitoring and improving OPAT services and calls for integration of microbiological data to enhance stewardship" Reidy et al (2025).
"The chest port was placed 10 months prior without complication. An initial fluoroscopic image of the chest revealed detachment and migration of the catheter towards the right atrium. The catheter was successfully retrieved with a gooseneck snare using an inferior approach through the femoral vein" Van Vorst et al (2025).
"Based on this initial experience, we conclude that ultrasound-guided innominate vein cannulation is feasible and safe for infants under 4.5 kg" D' Alessandro et al (2025).
"The guideline includes practical tools, such as checklists and detailed information on sampling devices, to facilitate implementation. This initiative would help standardize blood collection practices, improve specimen quality, and enhance patient care by ensuring accurate laboratory results in clinical settings" Chang et al (2025).
