"A structured AMS intervention for UTIs in OPAT improved appropriate antibiotic duration, increased IV-to-oral switching, and reduced healthcare costs without compromising clinical safety. Behavior-informed stewardship strategies can optimize antimicrobial use in OPAT care" Gómez-Zorrilla et al (2026).
"The prototype outperformed the landmark technique by visualizing non-palpable, non-visible vessels. The veins identified were larger and optimally located in the mid-forearm, both attributes linked to fewer complications and improved first-time insertion success" Liddelow et al (2026).
"S. aureus was the predominant agent for CRBSI and 44.2% of them were complicated. CKD/ESRF were the comorbidities associated with S. aureus CRBSI" Nian et al (2026).
"The incidence of catheter failure (22.4%) and other complications during PICC maintenance (28.0%) was higher than modern optimized vascular access program. Recognition of common complications and risk factors leading to PICC removal highlights the need for targeted surveillance and post-insertion care to improve PICC outcomes" Kasikan et al (2026).
"This study evaluated the clinical effectiveness, safety, and economic impact of LAL-based day hospital management, comparing in-label acute bacterial skin and skin-structure infections (ABSSSI) with complex off-label indications" Marino et al (2026).
"In this retrospective cohort, PICC-ports demonstrated a safety profile comparable to chest ports, with fewer occlusions but more placement failures. These results support the routine clinical use of PICC-ports in eligible patients, though further randomized trials are needed to confirm long-term outcomes" Hillaireau et al (2026).
"In a large-scale cohort of pediatric port placement, steroids and severe neutropenia increased the odds of port infection while prophylactic antibiotics helped mitigate this risk" Katz et al (2026).
"The residual drug content in empty vials post-compounding is a crucial indicator for assessing the accuracy of intelligent dispensing robots" Liu et al (2026).
"TIVPPs provide a safe, reliable, and diagnostically superior route for high-pressure contrast injection in chest CECT for patients with cancer. They maintain significantly superior objective and subjective image quality compared to peripheral venous access, with no contrast extravasation" Deng et al (2026).
"This quality improvement project evaluated the effectiveness of a low-cost, three-dimensional -printed simulation-based training intervention on emergency clinicians' intraosseous knowledge, technical proficiency, attitudes, and clinical utilization" Tighe et al (2026).
"Acute venous air embolism is an uncommon but feared complication of central venous catheter procedures. Large volumes of intravascular air (generally estimated at approximately 50–100 mL) may obstruct right ventricular outflow and provoke circulatory collapse" Birgün et al (2026).
"The primary objective of this study was to determine the incidence of catheter failure. The secondary objectives were to describe the characteristics and complications of PICC placement, and to identify risk factors associated with catheter failure" Kasikan et al (2026).
