"Ultrasound-guided nT-CICCs are associated with significantly lower rates of infectious and mechanical complications compared with n-PICCs in ELBW neonates" Capasso et al (2026).
"Despite the implementation of safety-engineered devices (SEDs) in Germany, percutaneous sharps injuries (PSIs) caused by medical devices remain a major occupational risk for healthcare workers" Dulon et al (2026).
"This expert consensus presents 14 evidence-informed statements designed to strengthen practice, improve patient safety, and enhance clinician confidence and competence. Central to these recommendations is the adoption of routine structured pre-insertion vessel assessment using vein visualization technology where appropriate to minimize vessel trauma, and promote more consistent, high-quality vascular access care" Spencer et al (2026).
"The majority of healthcare facilities implement OPAT through a formal structure. However, several challenges continue to hinder its routine implementation. Ongoing efforts to address implementation barriers are crucial for strengthening existing services and supporting the expansion of new services" Mohammed et al (2026).
"Stabilised HOCl demonstrated substantial antibiofilm activity while preserving cellular morphology under the conditions tested. These findings suggest that HOCl may represent a promising candidate for catheter-related infection prevention, although further studies incorporating functional cytotoxicity assays are required" Daştan et al (2026).
"The intravenous infusion management protocol developed on the basis of Donabedian's theory is both rigorous and targeted, providing a foundation for the comprehensive management of intravenous infusion in patients with aggressive behavior" Liu et al (2026).
"To inform development of an algorithm (composed of a scale and a decision-making tree) tailored to puncture conditions for preventing failures and guiding responses when failures occur by identifying real needs and requirements of health professionals with respect to organization of peripheral venous catheter care" Ricci et al (2026).
"Racial and ethnic disparities were observed in rates of HAIs, specifically for CLABSI and HO-CDI. However, conclusions are limited by the substantial heterogeneity present. Further research characterizing social determinants of health driving these disparities is needed" Perez et al (2026).
"Reductions in IV fluid utilization, diuretic administration, and length of stay were observed following an IV fluid conservation intervention. Our strategies offer a framework for health systems facing similar shortages with the potential to improve clinical outcomes" Johnson et al (2026).
"Given the limitations of ultrasound-guided totally implantable venous access ports (TIVAPs) placement in detecting venous abnormalities and predicting pinch-off syndrome, this study evaluates whether preoperative venography can improve surgical planning and reduce complications by identifying these anatomical risks prior to implantation" Yan et al (2026).
"This review highlights the need for evidence-based guidelines for syringe pump changeover methods. Standardized procedures and optimized protocols for automated/smart syringe pumps can minimize errors, improve drug delivery accuracy, and enhance critical care quality" Li et al (2026).
"The guideline comprises 52 recommendations, focusing on adult patients with central venous catheters in the ICU. Part 1 of this guideline focuses on the diagnosis and prevention of CLABSI. In Part 2, we will further analyze the management of catheters following infection and the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents" Guideline working group of Chinese Society of Critical Care et al (2026).
