"In patients with vascular anomalies (e.g., isolated persistent left superior vena cava [IPLSVC]), real-time ultrasound guidance during central venous catheter (CVC) placement reduces immediate procedural risks but cannot prevent delayed vascular perforation" Lyu et al (2025).
"Despite recent advances in capillary blood collection technologies for implementation in a patient centric healthcare world, a direct comparison of various technologies has yet to be performed" Collier et al (2025).
"The medical experience of family members of children in the observation and infusion department of children's hospitals still needs to be further improved. Medical workers should take appropriate measures against the relevant influencing factors to enhance their medical experience" Zhao et al (2025).
"The standardized community-based PICC maintenance model significantly improved care quality, reduced complication rates, and enhanced patient experience. It offers a scalable framework for expanding specialist nursing services within primary care settings" Yang et al (2025).
"Structured training programmes can help reduce sPVC failure rates, despite variations in programme implementation. Short- and long-term programmes showed benefits, with long-term training supporting sustained adherence to evidence-based practice despite requiring more resources. A small number of studies prevent definitive conclusions about overall effectiveness" Privitera et al (2025).
"To quantify the incidence of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) infections and to describe the influence of clinical characteristics, including dwell time, on risk" Rickard et al (2025).
"Sharps injuries and splash exposures are still frequent among healthcare workers in the UAE; therefore, interventions encouraging reporting and focusing on training for safe practices, ensuring adequate personal protective equipment supply, including safety-engineered products like auto-retractable needles, are recommended to mitigate the risk" Karkaz et al (2025).
"A mixed methods study, using an exploratory sequential design, was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Paris, France. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with prescribing physicians and professionals involved in OPAT coordination and monitoring" Burnet et al (2025).
"This case highlights the potential of dPCR as a complementary tool to conventional BCs in the management of pediatric CRBSI. dPCR may support rapid decision-making and monitoring of the treatment response, particularly when sample volumes are limited" Kojima et al (2025).
"eliable venous access is critical for breast cancer chemotherapy, yet the optimal choice between peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) and implantable port catheters (IPC) remains unclear. This meta-analysis compares complication risks associated with these devices in patients with breast cancer" Chen et al (2025).
"Traditionally, prolonged courses of antibiotics were used; however, extending therapy may not improve outcomes, and raises risks such as toxicity and antimicrobial resistance. Recent evidence suggests that shorter antibiotic regimens and early transition to oral antibiotics can be equally effective in some circumstances" Kennedy et al (2025).
"This review critically evaluates the various types of CVADs commonly employed in transplant settings, examining their indications, complications, and best practices to enhance patient outcomes" Milczarek et al (2025).
