"This study contributes to pediatric nursing science by providing objective, ultrasound-based evidence on the vascular effects of commonly used topical anesthetics and supports nurses' clinical decision-making in venous access management" Semeraro et al (2026).
"The findings highlight that although ChatGPT models can provide supportive information, their limitations in accuracy and completeness may pose risks for patient safety, particularly in critical domains such as aseptic technique and hand hygiene" Pehlivan et al (2026).
"Adherence to prevention guidelines for device-associated infections (DAIs) in intensive care units (ICUs) is critical but often suboptimal" Ghavidel-Sardsahra et al (2026).
"This study aimed to improve flagging of patients with difficult venous access and increase first-attempt intravenous catheter insertion in adult emergency department patients" Olmedo and Canamar (2026).
"We aimed to characterize first attempt and overall success in a nationwide cohort, investigate factors associated with first attempt IV access success, and determine the prehospital utilization rate of successful IV access" Smida et al (2026).
"This study evaluated the predictive accuracy of upper-limb edema in identifying difficult intravenous catheter placement" Petta et al (2026).
"Ultrasound (US) guidance can improve outcomes in difficult venous access (DIVA), but adoption and training among bedside clinicians remain inconsistent. We surveyed clinicians to assess current practices, training, and confidence in PVAD placement, including the use of US" Bahl and Mielke (2026).
"The current case report presents examples demonstrating that phlebitis and infiltration are heterogenous conditions with varied and overlapping signs that do not always align with conventional definitions" Kitada et al (2026).
"Non-contrast chest CT 3D reconstruction shows greater accuracy in preoperative depth prediction compared to IC-ECG. It may thus be a preferential alternative when intraoperative guidance is unavailable" Lv et al (2026).
"For patients with multidrug-resistant Ralstonia mannitolilytica-induced CRBSI who cannot undergo catheter removal, topical application of minocycline ointment combined with meticulous catheter care may serve as an effective salvage treatment strategy" Gong et al (2026).
"Implementation of the bundle resulted in SABSI reduction, reduced local PIVC infection, greater compliance with the Standard, nursing time savings, and improved staff satisfaction" Isles and Ray-Barruel (2026).
