"This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of warm compress and cold compress in managing peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC)-induced pain and phlebitis" Shama et al (2026).
"entral line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality among neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Point-of-care quality improvement (POCQI) methods can reduce the rate of CLABSI by improving compliance with the care bundle" Biswas et al (2026).
"CRBSI significantly worsens outcomes and costs in Chinese ICUs. Prioritizing subclavian catheterization, infection prevention bundles, and gram-negative antimicrobial stewardship is essential. Further research is needed to validate these interventions across diverse settings" Li et al (2026).
"The majority of patients received norepinephrine through a short PIVC. Overall, 5 patients (4.7%) experienced complications, 4 with thrombophlebitis and 1 with an extravasation" Mann et al (2026).
"This study identifies a clear discrepancy between clinical guidelines and actual practice. Many ACF insertions appear to be based on incorrect assumptions rather than confirmed clinical need. The findings highlight the need for more targeted, evidence-based decision-making in EDs" Xu et al (2026).
"Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) rarely develop true knots, but when they do, forceful removal can precipitate catheter fracture and embolization. Bedside strategies that restore internal support before extraction may prevent escalation to invasive retrieval" Ramacciani Isemann et al (2026).
"The suboptimal adherence to current VA recommendations and wide variability in catheter care practices including the prevention, diagnosis, and management of CRBSI highlight the need for standardized pediatric-specific protocols to enhance catheter longevity and improve patient outcomes" Bakkaloğlu et al (2026).
"This reflective essay explores therapeutic silence and attuned presence as holistic nursing interventions that support emotional, relational, and spiritual well-being for individuals receiving cancer treatment" Desy (2026).
"Patients who inject drugs (PWID) may self-inject illicit substances into vascular access devices (SIVAD). This behavior can lead to complications, including overdose and death" Bragg et al (2026).
"CVC placement in adults with coagulopathy or thrombocytopenia is generally safe. Ultrasound guidance, restrictive transfusion thresholds, and thromboelastography-guided assessment enhance procedural safety and reduce unnecessary transfusions" Mumoli et al (2025).
"Ochrobactrum intermedium was isolated from all catheter lumens and blood cultures. Due to a documented history of vascular access failure, catheter salvage was the primary goal. A combined systemic antibiotic and lock therapy with meropenem and unfractionated heparin was initiated" Rodrigues et al (2026).
"In this quasi-experimental study, 80 patients were allocated to receive either a preoperative mini-midline catheter (intervention group) or conventional PIVCs (control group)" Xu et al (2026).
