"This study provides valuable knowledge from clinicians with an in-depth understanding of the clinical factors contributing to poor PIVC practices. Efforts to improve these practices and address the key themes identified will depend on strong leadership and a coordinated approach across the system" Havers et al (2025).
"The fibroblastic sleeve was identified as wrapping around the catheter's tip, leading to significant resistance during removal. The treatment approach involved thrombolysis, specifically using urokinase slowly injected into the catheter, combined with the application of a tourniquet" Lyu and Li (2025).
"The introduction of an ECMO-specific BSI reduction bundle resulted in a greater than 10-fold reduction in BSI. There was a trend towards statistically significant improvement in mortality between the two groups. We believe that this intervention is implementable at other hospitals" Khan et al (2025).
"Peripherally inserted central catheters are increasingly utilized, but placement can be challenging due to anatomical constraints and the need for an adequate catheter-to-vein ratio and optimal exit site positioning. This paper presents a novel approach combining in-plane oblique axis ultrasound guidance with pseudotunneling for catheter insertion in a complex anatomical scenario" Simone et al (2025).
"Our objective was to determine the prevalence of central catheter bacteremia in ICU, during 2022, as well as to determine associated risk factors" Mancheño-Maciá et al (2025).
"The addition of online training resulted in increased confidence in performing eFAST (28.57% increase), focused echocardiograms (25% increase), ocular sonograms (41.67% increase), but a decrease was seen in vascular access by 16% due to limited time spent on this exam" Walsh et al (2025).
"HOB would substantially expand the scope of focus of existing bloodstream infection measurement, and is currently being considered for voluntary reporting in 2025. In this article, we provide arguments for and against adopting HOB as a PFP measure linked to CMS payments" Schrank et al (2025).
"These diverse patient perspectives should inform trials to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative antibiotic delivery strategies, as well as interventions to improve patient-centered decision-making for DUA-IE treatment" Cooper et al (2025).
"This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of positive reinforcement nursing interventions in patients receiving emergency infusions. This retrospective study included 971 patients who underwent infusion therapy in the emergency department from February 2023 to February 2024" Liu et al (2025).
"DRIP has shown that elimination of cannulation where not clinically indicated is achievable. Use of the DRIP tool can support safe organizational culture by encouraging staff to question the need for a PIVC to reduce or eliminate the "just in case" or idle cannula" May and Gillman (2025).
"Cuidaven® is an app designed specifically to improve adherence to best practices in the care of people with venous catheters, and to increase health education and involvement of patients in their own clinical safety and self-care" Bujalance-Hoyos et al (2025).
"Experience in removing broken catheters is limited and there are no special tools. We present 4 cases of catheter removal using the available lassos/lasso catheter and tools designed for transvenous lead extraction and coronary sinus lead implantation via a femoral and subclavian approach" Kutarski et al (2025).
