"The OPAT programme optimized antimicrobial use and reduced IV therapy duration, adverse clinical outcomes, and healthcare costs" Manders et al (2025).
"This case underscores the importance of rapid recognition and coordinated management of SVC syndrome in high-risk oncology patients with central venous access" Elnadi et al (2025).
"Ultrasound guidance improves catheter placement accuracy, minimizes malposition, lowers CLABSI risk, and reduces radiation exposure, supporting its broader implementation in NICUs" Lin et al (2025).
"Our results show that cuffed CVCs are associated with reduced CBSI rates and improved catheter longevity compared to uncuffed ones in small children" Novljan et al (2025).
"Standardized, image-guided chemoport insertion by a vascular surgeon results in a low complication rate. The catheter length measurements may serve as a useful reference, particularly in settings lacking fluoroscopic guidance" Kim (2025).
"An evidence-based bundle for peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion and care was developed, focusing on four key components: hand hygiene, aseptic technique during insertion, daily monitoring and timely removal of PIVCs, and optimization of maintenance care" Li et al (2025).
"The study indicates that using the Broselow tape for cannula selection during peripheral intravenous catheterization could serve as a novel alternative method" Alaca and Sarı (2025).
"With good line guard use compliance and no other practice changes occurring simultaneously, findings suggest a line guard is a promising addition to CLABSI prevention bundles, especially for patients at highest risk of external contamination to their lines" Lulgjuraj et al (2025).
"The incidence of CRBSI in our cohort was low, likely due to the implementation of preventive protocols for insertion and maintenance of tunneled central venous catheters" Furlan et al (2025).
"This article provides an explanation of NFD design and functions, guidance and information about their benefits when used correctly, as well as advice on preventing possible complications associated with their use" Munoz-Mozas (2025).
"In community hospital care scenarios, the cost advantage of antimicrobial-coated PICCs remained. Thus, the antimicrobial-coated PICC strategy was cost-saving, providing equal or improved health outcomes at lower costs in China's medical center and community hospitals, making it a more efficient choice for long-term vascular access" Xu et al (2025).
"We aimed to determine the incidence rates of DVT and its contributing factors. Patients with temporary non-tunneled HDCs placed for maintenance HD (on an emergency basis or until the maturation of arteriovenous fistula (AVF)) were followed-up for 3 months" Palakkool et al (2025).
