Standardized obstetrics insulin drip protocol

"Implementation of a nursing-driven, obstetrics-specific intravenous insulin drip protocol significantly improved maternal glycemic management within a goal glucose range of 70-110 mg/dL during antenatal corticosteroid administration and labor and delivery" Davis et al (2025).

Sheath-dilator insertion technique in PICC placement

"Using the alternative technique, a high success rate of first-attempt PICC insertions was achieved. This approach may reduce the need for additional dermatotomy, thus minimising patient morbidity and improving procedural outcomes" Young et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Hand motion tracking during central venous access

"This study aims to compare a commercially available wired and wireless tracker in motion analysis of interventional radiologists performing simulated ultrasound-guided central venous access" Ali et al (2025).

Peripherally inserted central catheters in neonates – Full Text

"During neonatal PICC catheterization in the NICU, the preferred approach is to perform venous catheterization of the lower extremities and ensure that the catheter tip remains positioned within the vena cava. This technique is associated with a reduction in catheter-related complications" Fu et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Peripheral intravenous catheter care quality improvement – Full Text

"The use of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC) is a crucial nursing practice for ensuring patient safety. Purpose: This systematic review assessed quality improvement (QI) articles focused on nursing insertion and management practices related to PIVCs" Cho et al (2025).

Improving peripheral IV placement

"While there was no significant difference in time to IV placement, other outcomes were consistent with the study's hypothesis that biplane imaging would provide an advantage. Further studies are needed to evaluate if skills performed on phantoms are transferable to patient care" Qu et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Maintenance of peripherally inserted central catheters

"Long-term maintenance of PICCs is important for their functions, but little is known about this. We aimed to describe the PICC dwelling time in general pediatric wards, taking both complications and intentional routine removal into consideration, and explore the factors for long-term maintenance" Nakao et al (2025).
