"The study underscores the need for standardised practices, interdisciplinary collaboration, and enhanced training. Findings highlight opportunities for integrating VAD selection into cancer care certification metrics and fostering partnerships between oncology and vascular access societies" Duggan et al (2025).
"Inappropriate use of non-sterile gloves for preparing and administering intravenous antimicrobials hinders correct hand hygiene practices and increases healthcare-associated infections, healthcare costs and waste" Raja Azlan et al (2025).
"To examine the evidence on SPC infiltration and extravasation complications in neonates, focusing on incidence, risk factors, detection tools, research gaps, and opportunities for standardization" van Rens et al (2025).
"Almost half (44%) of the survey respondents reported shortages impacting hematology and oncology medications. These shortages resulted in interrupted, modified, or delayed chemotherapy regimens (e.g., reduced doses, treatment withheld if noncurative intent) and significantly impacted health care organizations' clinical and operational resources, increased the risk for medication errors, and negatively affected the quality of patient care" Bertagnoli et al (2025).
"We present a DDoS attack that alters the pump's operation, potentially leading to over-infusion or under-infusion of medication. We then assess the implications of these security flaws on patient safety and device reliability" Lu et al (2025).
"To assess the diagnostic accuracy of point-of-care ultrasound against single or multiple check X-rays done to confirm central line position. This cross-sectional observational study was conducted in a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit from March 2023 to March 2024" Bhatia et al (2025).
"We reported a pediatric case requiring prolonged antibiotic therapy for sacral osteomyelitis, in which PICC placement was initially unsuccessful because of resistance encountered during catheter advancement. Venography revealed significant venous stenosis, which allowed successful catheter placement after the guidewire was redirected into a patent vessel" Tokuda et al (2025).
"This prospective study evaluated a novel dual peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) technique to reduce venipuncture frequency in allo-HSCT recipients" Sakai et al (2025).
"Disruption of the central venous port catheter was identified on the chest radiograph of a 36-year-old woman who had undergone chemotherapy following resection of her colon cancer. Computed tomography revealed that the catheter was impacted in the peripheral pulmonary artery" Kato et al (2025).
"The resulting manual demonstrates strong validity as an educational resource, with significant potential to standardize and enhance hypodermoclysis training in palliative nursing, promoting both safety and humanized care" de Sousa et al (2025).
"This case highlights the need for standardized IV infiltration prevention and management strategies in the surgical setting, in which there may be restricted access or visualization of IV catheters" Hahn et al (2025).
"Transfusion medicine is vital to healthcare and affects clinical outcomes, patient safety, and system resilience while addressing challenges such as blood shortages, donor variability, and rising costs. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) presents new opportunities to improve clinical decision-making and operational effectiveness in this field" Li et al (2025).
