"Difficult PICC removal can result after prolonged dwell times. When conventional noninvasive interventions are unsuccessful, fluoroscopy-guided guidewire-assisted technique is a safe and effective method for the removal of adherent PICC" Xu et al (2024).
"Hemodialysis vascular access predisposes patients to exit-site infections (ESIs) and bloodstream infections (BSIs), resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. The objective was to characterize hemodialysis catheter-related (CR) ESIs and BSIs while considering potential factors associated with infection" Lawrence et al (2025).
"This study aimed to predict the impact of different infusion strategies on pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) target attainment and the potential risk for toxicity in an ICU cohort treated with β-lactams" Smekal et al (2025).
"This case underscores the importance of careful selection and monitoring of infusion sites during administration of irritant solutions like concentrated KCl, particularly in geriatric patients. Patient-specific factors, pharmacological implications, and the necessity for adequate vascular assessment are emphasized" Li et al (2025).
"This study examines microbial contamination on the surface of reusable tourniquets in both emergency department and operating theatre settings" Szymczyk et al (2025).
"An 82-year-old woman with acute renal failure due to sepsis required emergency dialysis. During the insertion of a 12-Fr dialysis catheter into the right jugular vein, pulsatile reflux was noted. Computed tomography revealed catheter misplacement in the subclavian artery" Takenobu et al (2025).
"Due to its high sensitivity and rapid response characteristics, this study aims to develop a robot system for intravenous infusion based on nanophotonics sensing to realize accurate identification, grasping and opening of medicine bottles in a dynamic environment, so as to improve the safety and efficiency of intravenous infusion" Guochun et al (2025).
"Machine learning models that incorporate time-to-event data can effectively predict PICC-RVT risk. The DeepSurv model, in particular, shows excellent discriminative and calibration capabilities. Albumin levels, type of prefill sealant, and activated partial thromboplastin time are critical indicators for identifying and managing high-risk PICC-RVT patients" Li et al (2025).
"The aim of this study was to develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of a serious, simulated, gaming-based intervention to improve the skills and knowledge of RNs in the early stages of their career regarding central line insertion, care, and infection prevention" Yabrodi et al (2025).
"Based on these results, USGPIV cannulation improves the likelihood of first-attempt insertion success in patients with DIVA" Owen et al (2025).
"The evidence on PVC flushing practices is dispersed, making it difficult to draw clear conclusions about current practices and clinical implications. A scoping review is needed to explore and synthesise this evidence systematically and to systematically map the existing research on PVC flushing by assessing the scope, methodologies and outcomes of existing studies" Deng et al (2025).
"As a result, it was observed that the nurse-driven, central catheter-related bloodstream infection prevention algorithm, prepared using evidence-based clinical guidelines, reduced the rates of infection. Therefore, it is recommended to use algorithm studies as a long-term guide in intensive care units" Acun et al (2025).
