"Using only needleless connectors in long peripheral catheters does not prevent the backflow phenomenon. Using clamps significantly reduced the backflow volume in needleless connectors with positive and negative displacement. Neutral and anti-reflux connectors perform similarly in the clamping sequences with and without clamps" Giustivi et al (2025).
"The IC-ECG guided method has a higher success rate on the first attempt and lower total complication for catheter tip localization in PICC placement. IC-ECG may be considered the preferred method for accurate catheter tip placement" Zhou et al (2025)
"Tip location of central venous access devices is considered highly relevant for the purpose of reducing catheter-related complications and prolong the duration of the access. Though, the choice of the method of tip location currently relies upon the operator's experience, preference, and training, on the local availability of specific resources and technologies, and on local policies" Faraone et al (2025).
"This tutorial aims to provide emergency physicians with a comprehensive guide on the placement and utilization of Rapid Infusion Catheters (RICs)-a large bore peripheral IV inserted by modified Seldinger technique-in emergencies" Bradshaw et al (2025).
"In addition to common complications, such as thrombosis, infection, formation of a fibrin sheath, or central vein stenosis, TCC dysfunction, such as kinks, cuff detachment, or mechanical destruction, can be easily overlooked" Lin et al (2025).
"The risk factors for phlebitis varied with the duration of catheter dwelling. Individualized catheter management, considering the duration of catheter dwelling, may help avoid phlebitis in patients admitted to the ICU" Shinzato et al (2025).
"Patients receiving infusions with high extravasation risk should be continuously and carefully evaluated for signs of dislocation, leakage swelling, or extravasation to quickly identify and prevent further injury" Lin et al (2025).
"The new long peripheral catheter provides a safe, rapid, and effective means of venous access. Its straightforward insertion technique, convenience, and suitability for "point of care" use make it a valuable option for patients requiring continuous intravenous therapy" Weber et al (2025).
"In summary, Chinese ICU nurses demonstrated inadequate levels of knowledge and attitude towards CLABSI prevention. Study findings suggest that arranging training in refreshing, taking advantage of experienced nurses' leading roles and changing safety culture might be useful in enhancing ICU nurses' knowledge, attitude and practice" He et al (2025).
"We report the case of a 17-month-old infant treated for an alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of the soft tissues in the gluteal region, who experienced doxorubicin extravasation in the forearm. This incident was successfully managed with initial fasciotomy followed by hyperbaric oxygen therapy" Belcadi et al (2025).
"Exercise management for cancer patients with arm peripherally inserted central catheter-PORT (PICC-PORT) requires standardization to prevent complications and optimize outcomes" Le et al (2025).
"In conclusion, this case underscores the critical role of real-time ultrasound or intracavitary ECG (IC-ECG) to prevent CVC-related complications and the need for further research into optimizing management strategies for such complications" Iannizzotto et al (2025).
