Vascular access type for vasopressor infusion – Full Text

"We conducted a single-centre, parallel-group, feasibility randomised controlled trial with critically ill patients receiving vasopressor infusions randomised in a 1:1 ratio to receive early CVC insertion (within 4 h) or late CVC insertion (after 12 h). All patients received vasopressor infusions via a peripheral intravenous cannula (PIVC) while awaiting CVC insertion" Ramanan et al (2025).

Intracavitary electrocardiogram PICC placement guidance – Full Text

"Intracavitary electrocardiogram (IC-ECG) refers to the use of normal saline column or guidewire as a probe electrode to guide the electrocardiogram during central venous catheter-placement, and then determine the position of the catheter tip in real time according to the characteristic changes of the electrocardiogram P wave during the catheterization" Wang et al (2025).

Impact of local warming during peripheral intravenous cannulation

"Local warming is an effective, non-invasive intervention to improve peripheral venous access, particularly in pediatric patients. It significantly enhances both cannulation success and vascular CSA with high consistency across studies" Patel and Kahlon (2025).

Central venous catheter insertion-related complications

"There were no immediate or early complications; during the first month after insertion, we recorded 3 catheter-related bloodstream infections (0.7/1000 catheter days), 9 mechanical complications requiring removal of the device (6.5%), and no symptomatic catheter-related thrombosis" Annetta et al (2025).
