"This study provides external validation data for DIVA3 and DIVA4 scores in the LMIC setting. The novel modified 4-variable LMIC-DIVA score improves test characteristics and accuracy in identifying pediatric DIVA in our population" Kanjanauptom et al (2025).
"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).
"The application of antibiotic lock therapy (ALT), particularly in patients with hematological malignancies, has not been well documented. We aim to share our experience on ALT for these patients and to evaluate its effectiveness and safety" Zhang et al (2025).
"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).
"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).
"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).
"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).
"Findings highlight the widespread use of ethanol and taurolidine for CRBSIs prevention and the concurrent use of ALT with systemic antimicrobials to treat CRBSIs without catheter removal" Alfieri et al (2025).
"CLABSI bundle process audits revealed that “hub the rub” was the most commonly missed or inadequately performed step, even after multiple training and feedback sessions" Hussain et al (2025).
"To assess the clinical efficacy of a new single-incision axillary vein puncture technique for implanting totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAPs)" Mu et al (2025).
New Open Access publication on Different axis approaches for ultrasound-guided centrally inserted central catheterization in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials…
"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).
