"The study aimed to evaluate our experience of upper extremity peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) and durable tunneled femoral central venous catheters (TF-CVCs) in young pediatric cardiac ICU (PCICU) patients" Shostak et al (2025).
"The mixture of potassium chloride (10%, 50 mL) and sodium chloride (0.9%, 10 mL) was infused at a rate of 6 mL/h. However, the patient developed purplish swelling along the site of the cannula, which was not noted until half of the infusion was given" Ma and Wang (2025).
"This study evaluated the effectiveness of medical liquid adhesive (MLA) for improving jugular CVC dressing adhesion" Marsh et al (2025).
"We demonstrated favorable clinical and safety outcomes with our COpAT program and substantial cost savings using existing infrastructure. COpAT allows efficient use of healthcare resources including decongestion of hospitals" Wong and Wong (2025)
"Arterial trauma is a rare, but potentially life-threatening complication of central venous catheter insertion, with limited evidence to guide its prevention and management. We aimed to identify incidents from two national databases of incident reports to better characterise this complication and its consequences" Hart et al (2025).
"The implementation of NIR-huddle failed to improve first-time insertion success, but PIVC dwell time and documentation were improved. Further research is needed to minimize harm and improve neonatal vascular access preservation" August et al (2025).
"We recommend the use of EMLA in children who need to undergo a minor needle-related procedure, with minimal application duration of 60 min (strong recommendation, very low-quality evidence). We suggest the use of tetracaine-containing creams only when rapid cannulation/puncture (ie, within 30-60 min) is required (weak recommendation, very low-quality evidence)" Stavleu et al (2025).
"Concentrated heparin lock (e.g., 5000 vs. 1000 IU/ml) have been associated with lower requirements for therapeutic CVC thrombolysis but increased systemic bleeding risks and costs. Citrate 4% was non-inferior to standard heparin locks to prevent thrombosis, may cause less bleeding, and is less costly in some countries" Lazarus et al (2025).
"This study aims to compare a commercially available wired and wireless tracker in motion analysis of interventional radiologists performing simulated ultrasound-guided central venous access" Ali et al (2025).
"In this study, the authors found the insertion technique with grooved flashback needle design reduced operative error, double punctures and improved first-attempt success. This flashback needle design could significantly improve patient outcomes, speed time to treatment and reduce hospital costs" Moureau and Kaufman (2025).
"The use of a sterile transparent film dressing reduces tissue infiltration in neonates with peripheral intravenous catheters. It is recommended that health care professionals working in neonatal intensive care units use sterile transparent film dressings to dress peripheral intravenous catheters" Çalikuşu Incekar et al (2025).
"In modern clinical settings, medical devices, such as infusion devices used to administer fluids and drugs, carry risks from use errors, requiring a focus on usability and human factors engineering (HFE)" Herrero et al (2025).
