"The NeoKissEs surveillance data show a high level of BSI, a downwards time trend and wide variation among NICUs in both BSI/CLABSI incidence and the extent of use of recommended IP practices" Pijoan et al (2026).
"GPT-5.1 Thinking shows potential to support infection surveillance under strict constraints but exhibits systematic limitations, including overreliance on clinical intuition and difficulty with complex exclusion pathways" Alzyood et al (2026).
A new publication on Hydrodynamic behaviour of anti-reflux needle-free connectors during microinfusion with syringe pump: A bench-top study from the Journal of Vascular Access Hydrodynamic…
"Residual syringe air and infusion pump vertical position are critical, interacting factors that disrupt flow continuity during vasoactive drug delivery" Chang et al (2026).
"HAI prevalence remained stable over six years. However, device utilization increased during 2020-2021, with corresponding rises in device-associated infection rates, particularly VAP" Lara et al (2026).
"Recent large-scale clinical studies of CLABSI diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, alongside evolving antibiotic resistance patterns and new antimicrobial developments, have necessitated updates to clinical management strategies. Consequently, the Chinese Society of Critical Care Medicine (CSCCM) has updated the 2007 guideline on intravascular catheter-related infections" Guideline working group of Chinese Society of Critical Care et al (2026).
"The findings of this review revealed that the oral health conditions of ICU patients can leave patients vulnerable to HAIs, including VAP, NVAP, CLABSI, and AOM. Integrating oral hygiene interventions into routine care for ICU patients could be an effective approach to HAI prevention" Javier et al (2026).
"Newly approved intravenous therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) have led to unique challenges. Totally implantable venous access ports can be utilized to provide stable intravascular access but can be associated with procedural complications and long-term issues" Batley et al (2026).
"Following increased port-related central line–associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs), a clinical nurse specialist–led team developed a nurse-driven algorithm for port access" Miller and Hart (2026).
"Neonates in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) frequently require medical adhesives for device fixation; yet, their immature skin makes them vulnerable to medical adhesive-related skin injuries (MARSIs). Research on the incidence of MARSI and clinical risk factors in this population remains limited" Ku and Uhm (2026).
"CRBSI incidence in Gansu’s hemodialysis patients is high, with Gram-positive bacteria as the dominant pathogens. Key risk factors include hospital level, diabetic nephropathy, anemia, hypoproteinemia, and elevated serum ferritin" Sun et al (2026).
"This review discusses various vasopressor agents, including norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine, highlighting their safety profiles and the importance of catheter size, location, and duration of infusion" Surana et al (2026).
