"The Rapid Infusion Catheter (RIC) has transformed intravenous (i.v.) access, allowing for rapid fluid delivery peripherally. It may negate the need for a central vein sheath to be placed" Scorer et al (2025).
"Selecting the upper arm as the insertion site for long PIVCs reduced the incidence of thrombophlebitis and extended indwelling catheter duration during antimicrobial therapy" Zhao et al (2025).
"This prospective nonblinded observation simulation-based study demonstrated that the push-pull technique was significantly faster than the pressure bag technique" Grossberg et al (2024).
"To determine the association between patient characteristics, techniques, and technologies with first-time peripheral intravenous catheter insertion in paediatric acute care" Kleidon et al (2025).
"This study highlights that a lack of antimicrobial stewardship guidance to bedside nurses persists; that nurses do not always have access to in-service training and policies, protocols, and guidelines; and that flushing the IV administration line following the administration of an intermittent antimicrobial infusion, should be viewed as best practice to ensure the complete delivery of the dose" Rout et al (2024).
"Our hypothesis is that infrared vein illumination could improve the success rate of peripheral venous catheterisation in critically ill patients at risk of difficult catheterisation" Ouedraogo et al (2025).
"Alcohol-based 2% chlorhexidine as a skin antiseptic could reduce the incidence of CRBSI in neonates without producing an increase in skin lesions" Pinilla-González et al (2025).
"It includes recommendations for US-guided access to central and peripheral veins and arteries in adult and pediatric patients based on the strength of the scientific evidence present in the literature" Vegas et al (2025).
"Equity in preventing CLABSIs is achievable through standardized central-line care. Further study is warranted to assess if improvement opportunities exist for achieving equity in preventing SSIs" Song et al (2025).
"Occasionally, the guidewire may be stripped owing to forceful pulling over the puncture needle during the procedure. Retention of such stripped guidewire fragments in soft tissues may remain undetected unless the wire is carefully inspected" Chandola et al (2025).
"In early post-operative PJIs, a longer duration of IV therapy is not associated with a lower failure rate but may be continued until a sufficient bacterial load reduction has been achieved" Meijer et al (2025).
"We aimed to (1) test the feasibility of a trial comparing peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) to midline catheters in hospitalized children in need of durable vascular access and (2) collect preliminary effectiveness data of the 2 devices" Burek et al (2025).
