"We observed a pronounced variation in CLABSI rates between different catheter types. All episodes of CLABSI were observed after a dwell time of 5 days, with increasing rates after 9 days, and the rate of CLABSI increased with longer dwell times for UVCs and CVCs" Buttera et al (2025).
"In this nationwide study of Danish ICUs, antibiotic consumption decreased substantially over an 11-year period-driven by reductions in broad-spectrum classes-without evidence of worsening clinical outcomes" Meier et al (2025).
"The objectives of this blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) were to assess the feasibility of conducting a definitive RCT of IN fentanyl for PICC placement in preterm infants and evaluate the acceptability and adoption of IN fentanyl for procedural pain management in the NICU" Tabbara et al (2025).
"This case report aims to highlight a rare but life-threatening complication of femoral venous catheterization and to describe a novel endovascular technique for its management" Li et al (2025).
"In conclusion, making minimal drug formulation concentration changes to an IV biologic formulation may reduce the risk, time commitment, and cost associated with developing a SC biologic formulation. Further education is needed around the transition of traditional IV formulations to low-concentration, large-volume SC formulations utilizing delivery formats such as an SC infusion pump or OBDS" Desai et al (2025).
"This review examines the epidemiology, risk factors, antifungal susceptibility, clinical manifestations, and mortality associated with C. auris, based on published literature from Saudi Arabia" Almajid et al (2025).
"This guideline summarizes evidence-based interventions for the management of extravasation of antineoplastic vesicants or irritants with vesicant properties to guide clinical care" Thomas et al (2025).
"The study underscores the need for standardised practices, interdisciplinary collaboration, and enhanced training. Findings highlight opportunities for integrating VAD selection into cancer care certification metrics and fostering partnerships between oncology and vascular access societies" Duggan et al (2025).
"Inappropriate use of non-sterile gloves for preparing and administering intravenous antimicrobials hinders correct hand hygiene practices and increases healthcare-associated infections, healthcare costs and waste" Raja Azlan et al (2025).
"To examine the evidence on SPC infiltration and extravasation complications in neonates, focusing on incidence, risk factors, detection tools, research gaps, and opportunities for standardization" van Rens et al (2025).
"Almost half (44%) of the survey respondents reported shortages impacting hematology and oncology medications. These shortages resulted in interrupted, modified, or delayed chemotherapy regimens (e.g., reduced doses, treatment withheld if noncurative intent) and significantly impacted health care organizations' clinical and operational resources, increased the risk for medication errors, and negatively affected the quality of patient care" Bertagnoli et al (2025).
"We present a DDoS attack that alters the pump's operation, potentially leading to over-infusion or under-infusion of medication. We then assess the implications of these security flaws on patient safety and device reliability" Lu et al (2025).
