CVC associated vascular erosion – Full Text

"This case highlights the risk of delayed vascular erosion associated with suboptimally positioned CVCs, highlighting the diagnostic difficulty posed by TPN extravasation mimicking chylothorax. Prompt recognition of this complication is crucial to prevent adverse outcomes" Jung and Lee (2026).

IVTEAM

Procedural pain relief in neonates – Full Text

"In neonates painful procedures are performed with minimum to no regard for pain relief. Even if neonates are unable to communicate pain, it doesn't negate their ability to experience it. This study observed the effect of expressed breast milk (EBM) and 10% dextrose (10%D) during venipuncture in neonates" Baniya et al (2026).

Pediatric PICC dislodgement rates – Full Text

"Abdominal wall-tunneled femoral PICCs significantly reduce dislodgement risk and prolong indwelling time, providing a stable central venous access for pediatric oncology patients requiring long-term therapy" Yang et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Anti-infection double lumen CVC bundle – Full Text

"The bundle included a double-lumen noble metal alloy-coated CVC and chlorhexidine-impregnated dressings. This study evaluated whether the bundle was associated with a reduction in catheter-related infections" Lazarevic Lindblad et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Nurse-led vascular access team

"The implementation of a nurse-led VAST improved efficiency and safety of vascular access, demonstrating fewer insertion attempts, longer dwell times, and lower complication rates" Latos (2026).

IVTEAM

Catheter-to-vein ratio definitions

"The catheter-to-vein ratio (CVR), a key modifiable thrombosis risk factor that primarily influences stasis, lacks a universal definition, causing variability in measurement, thresholds, and clinical use" Ahmed et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Implanted port flush frequency

"Findings suggest that prolonged intervals between flushes may increase risks associated with stagnant IVAP contents. This research highlights the need for further studies to establish safe and evidence-based flush frequencies" Sarver et al (2026).
