"To quantify the incidence of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) infections and to describe the influence of clinical characteristics, including dwell time, on risk" Rickard et al (2025).
"Sharps injuries and splash exposures are still frequent among healthcare workers in the UAE; therefore, interventions encouraging reporting and focusing on training for safe practices, ensuring adequate personal protective equipment supply, including safety-engineered products like auto-retractable needles, are recommended to mitigate the risk" Karkaz et al (2025).
"A mixed methods study, using an exploratory sequential design, was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Paris, France. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with prescribing physicians and professionals involved in OPAT coordination and monitoring" Burnet et al (2025).
"This case highlights the potential of dPCR as a complementary tool to conventional BCs in the management of pediatric CRBSI. dPCR may support rapid decision-making and monitoring of the treatment response, particularly when sample volumes are limited" Kojima et al (2025).
"eliable venous access is critical for breast cancer chemotherapy, yet the optimal choice between peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) and implantable port catheters (IPC) remains unclear. This meta-analysis compares complication risks associated with these devices in patients with breast cancer" Chen et al (2025).
"Traditionally, prolonged courses of antibiotics were used; however, extending therapy may not improve outcomes, and raises risks such as toxicity and antimicrobial resistance. Recent evidence suggests that shorter antibiotic regimens and early transition to oral antibiotics can be equally effective in some circumstances" Kennedy et al (2025).
"This review critically evaluates the various types of CVADs commonly employed in transplant settings, examining their indications, complications, and best practices to enhance patient outcomes" Milczarek et al (2025).
"Managing central-line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) in children with long-term central venous catheters (CVC) is challenging. Catheter salvage strategy (CSS) can be attempted when intravenous therapy is essential, though it lacks standardization" Pellegrino et al (2025).
"Aspiration during IM injections increases pain and procedure time without reducing complication risk. These findings support current international guidelines discouraging routine aspiration, particularly in pediatric and vaccine-related applications" Yıldız Karaahmet et al (2025).
"This scoping review addresses this gap by mapping the available literature on peripheral intravenous catheter use in hospitalised older people to identify the characteristics of the existing evidence and opportunities for future research" Howell et al (2025).
"Empowering frontline nurses to lead QI is a highly effective strategy for improving patient safety outcomes. This project demonstrates that a "culture of zero" is attainable through interprofessional collaboration, data-driven practices, and sustained leadership support" Amaro et al (2025).
"This study developed and validated Sudan's first PICC training curriculum. The program combines theoretical instruction, simulation, and supervised practice, with contextual adaptations for feasibility. Implementation could improve patient safety, reduce complications, and strengthen national capacity in vascular access care" Abdallah et al (2025).
