"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).
"The results of this study demonstrate that both auriculotherapy and the Valsalva maneuver effectively reduce pain during PIVC in adults" Hosseini et al (2025).
"With pneumothorax being a key complication of CVC procedures, this research aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for optimizing imaging protocols and minimizing unnecessary imaging risks" Breitwieser et al (2024).
"Efforts should be redirected toward revising the CLABSI definition and possibly reevaluating its criteria. Resources should be assigned to further investigate and systematically prevent BSIs from secondary sources while adhering to existing CLABSI prevention bundles" Mathur et al (2025).
"Administering intravenous chemotherapy in an ICU setting remains challenging, and the experience to establish an indication for systemic chemotherapy is still challenging" Karagiannis et al (2025).
