"In conclusion, there is a lack of evidence to underpin practice. Many non-sterile products are functionally sterile; conversely, sterile products become contaminated quickly. Relatively simple methods, such as the use of non-sterile disposable gloves and non-touch technique, could reduce the risk of microbial transmission significantly" Purssell and Gould (2026).
"This narrative article presents a forward-looking vision of vascular access connectivity supported in current clinical and technological knowledge. It explores how emerging connectivity, particularly needle-free port systems, could reshape the future of dialysis care. We briefly review existing vascular access modalities, including central venous catheters (CVCs) and arteriovenous (AV) accesses, along with their associated limitations" Canaud et al (2026).
"Traditional mechanisms for confirming successful IO placement remain historically static with rudimentary, best practice reliance on tactile feedback, catheter stability, and the ability to aspirate blood" Kretz et al (2026).
"Omadacycline was shown to be safe and effective when used as IV therapy in the outpatient setting to treat a variety of serious infections, including bone and joint infections, and mycobacterial infections" Van Anglen et al (2026).
"In September 2024, Hurricane Helene damaged the Baxter International Factory in North Carolina as well as the surrounding infrastructure, causing the factory to shut down production. This resulted in a nationwide shortage of intravenous (IV) fluids" Gorgens et al (2026).
"This study developed a machine learning prediction model for the risk of unplanned removal of totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAP) in breast cancer patients" Wang et al (2026).
"We aimed to assess variations in laboratory investigation of bloodstream infection and sepsis throughout a state-wide laboratory network, with the goal to design suitable remedial action" Inglis et al (2026).
"Implementing intravenous compounding software can save time, reduce costs, and lower errors in intravenous SACT preparation. This could improve timely treatment access for patients with cancer" Umpleby et al (2026).
"The aim of the study was to report on implementing an outpatient antimicrobial management project using an improvement science framework" Garzella et al (2026).
"Tract hemorrhage following tunneled central venous catheter placement can be a challenging issue for some patients. We report our experience with the injection of a hemostatic agent into the central venous catheter tract for treatment of tract bleeding" Aung et al (2026).
A new Open Access publication on Heparinised saline versus normal saline flushing in maintaining arterial catheter patency in intensive care patients: A systematic review and…
"We conducted a nationwide survey (1 February 2024-6 February 2025) of microbiology laboratories across England and Scotland to assess BC pathways, turnaround times for organism identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), availability of rapid methods, operational hours, and result communication" Drury et al (2026).
