"For this study, the Quality of Life Vascular Access Device (QoLVAD) questionnaire was administered to assess the impact of these devices (abovementioned catheters) on the patients' daily lives. routine However, no Brazilian Portuguese version of the questionnaire exists, hindering its use among Brazilian patients" Ponte et al (2025).
"The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) in reducing the incidence of UEVT in patients with TBI undergoing PICC placement" Liang et al (2025).
"Gravity-based systems are prone to errors, whereas electronic pumps, though more accurate, are limited by size, cost, and complexity. In this study, the impact of single-drop weight measurement and real-time light source monitoring on the accuracy of gravity-based infusion systems was evaluated" Oh et al (2025).
"Standard-ANTT demonstrated an estimated 52% reduction in waste and carbon emissions. There is a pressing need for nurses to review practice and consider where more sustainable choices can be made in the administration of PN" Malhi and Fletcher (2025).
" The aim of this scoping review was to summarize the scientific literature to assess the current evidence on VAN monitoring in hospitalized patients receiving intermittent hemodialysis (HD), identify gaps in knowledge, and guide future research" Corrêa et al (2025).
"Variation exists in ECMO cannula dressing and securement practices across Australia and New Zealand intensive care units, and adherence to local guidelines is low. Further evidence on optimal cannula dressing and securement techniques is urgently required to inform the development of clinical practice guidelines and improve patient care and outcomes" Corley et al (2025).
"This 'How to' article explains how to safely and effectively prime and connect an IV administration set" Munro (2025).
"We found that applying electric currents during the procedure reduces the pain of blood sampling or injections. The greatest analgesia was observed with cathodal direct current stimulation compared to other groups" Ezzati et al (2025).
"Preliminary analysis showed low overall port occlusion rates, regardless of the locking solution used. A Fisher's exact test revealed no significant association between the type of locking solution and port occlusion. Interim findings suggest that when used with the pulsatile flush technique, normal saline may be as effective as heparin in maintaining port patency" Mueller et al (2025).
"The use of an 8-week educational intervention can improve critical care nurses' knowledge of management of central venous cathether management and may enhance practices, ultimately reducing venous catheter-related complications" Notshe et al (2025).
"This case report describes a unique loop-snare torque-entanglement technique for the retrieval of such a foreign body out of the pulmonary vasculature" Bellam Premnath et al (2025).
"This meta-analysis provides insights that, although battery-powered drill device showed the best outcomes, the wide confidence intervals and lack of statistically significant differences between devices highlight the need for further research with larger sample sizes and standardized safety reporting protocols, to establish conclusions regarding optimal IO device for EDs" Suman et al (2025).
