"The combination of compound lidocaine cream with warm compress significantly alleviates procedural pain and enhances patient satisfaction during ultrasound-guided PICC placement in cancer patients, supporting its clinical application" Wang et al (2025).
"In our experience, it takes a lot of practice to acquire the necessary cognitive and psychomotor skills to perform ultrasound-guided procedures. It is therefore necessary to take every opportunity to practice in order to be ready for the complicated cases" Borgquist and Kander (2025).
"The objective of this scoping review was to identify published literature on educational methods for teaching nurses the safe administration of IV SACT" O'Dowd et al (2025).
"This study provides valuable knowledge from clinicians with an in-depth understanding of the clinical factors contributing to poor PIVC practices. Efforts to improve these practices and address the key themes identified will depend on strong leadership and a coordinated approach across the system" Havers et al (2025).
"The fibroblastic sleeve was identified as wrapping around the catheter's tip, leading to significant resistance during removal. The treatment approach involved thrombolysis, specifically using urokinase slowly injected into the catheter, combined with the application of a tourniquet" Lyu and Li (2025).
"The introduction of an ECMO-specific BSI reduction bundle resulted in a greater than 10-fold reduction in BSI. There was a trend towards statistically significant improvement in mortality between the two groups. We believe that this intervention is implementable at other hospitals" Khan et al (2025).
"Peripherally inserted central catheters are increasingly utilized, but placement can be challenging due to anatomical constraints and the need for an adequate catheter-to-vein ratio and optimal exit site positioning. This paper presents a novel approach combining in-plane oblique axis ultrasound guidance with pseudotunneling for catheter insertion in a complex anatomical scenario" Simone et al (2025).
"Our objective was to determine the prevalence of central catheter bacteremia in ICU, during 2022, as well as to determine associated risk factors" Mancheño-Maciá et al (2025).
"The addition of online training resulted in increased confidence in performing eFAST (28.57% increase), focused echocardiograms (25% increase), ocular sonograms (41.67% increase), but a decrease was seen in vascular access by 16% due to limited time spent on this exam" Walsh et al (2025).
"HOB would substantially expand the scope of focus of existing bloodstream infection measurement, and is currently being considered for voluntary reporting in 2025. In this article, we provide arguments for and against adopting HOB as a PFP measure linked to CMS payments" Schrank et al (2025).
"These diverse patient perspectives should inform trials to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative antibiotic delivery strategies, as well as interventions to improve patient-centered decision-making for DUA-IE treatment" Cooper et al (2025).
"This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of positive reinforcement nursing interventions in patients receiving emergency infusions. This retrospective study included 971 patients who underwent infusion therapy in the emergency department from February 2023 to February 2024" Liu et al (2025).
