"This insertion bundle-named SILPeC (Safe Insertion of Long Peripheral Catheters-includes (1) pre-insertion assessment of the vein of the upper limbs, (2) insertion of the optimal site selection, (3) appropriate measures of asepsis, (4) ultrasound-guided puncture, (5) safe connection to infusion lines, and (6) proper device stabilization and appropriate protection of the exit site" Giustivi et al (2026).
"PIV access in hypotensive trauma patients succeeds approximately two-thirds of the time. The marginal yield of sequential PIV attempts declines substantially after two failed attempts" Dumas et al (2026).
"We present a case of perforation of the internal jugular vein caused by PICC migration in the early postoperative days following neck dissection and free flap reconstruction" Dusi et al (2026).
"Electronic health records (EHR) often contain varying levels of missing data. This study aimed to compare different imputation strategies to identify the most appropriate missing data handling approach for predicting central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) in the presence of competing risks using EHR data" Gao et al (2026).
"This report describes a patient who developed this complication after femoral CVC insertion and outlines the diagnostic approach, management, and important clinical insights" Abaei Hasani et al (2026).
"At-home blood collection devices (ABCDs) can facilitate study participation for remote and rural cohorts. Previous studies used ABCDs to interrogate samples by proteomics and sequencing approaches" Konecny et al (2026).
"One exceedingly rare form of malposition is placement within the internal mammary vein. Misplacement within this vein is difficult to diagnose due to its course overlying the right cardiac border on routine chest imaging, as well as being typically subclinical in presentation" Guy et al (2026).
"An English-language European guideline for the prevention of complications associated with PIVCs is needed, featuring consensus terminology and a standardized, systematic, and transparent method for grading evidence" Mussa et al (2026).
"Existing risk prediction models for central venous catheter-related complications in children demonstrate potential in terms of discrimination. However, models specifically for CLABSI are limited in number and insufficiently validated" Liu et al (2026).
"Blood culture positivity times differ among Candida species. Early TTP species, such as C. albicans and C. tropicalis, were more likely to be fluconazole-susceptible, suggesting that fluconazole may be an appropriate option for empirical therapy in such infections" Öz et al (2026).
"Each additional catheter-day is independently associated with a 19% increment in CLABSI odds, with an exploratory critical threshold at day 13 beyond which enhanced surveillance measures should be considered, pending external validation" Dalmanoğlu et al (2026).
"ID physicians were commonly involved in OPAT care, with many programs expanding to COpAT. Several barriers to the safe delivery of OPAT remain, including lack of institutional support, reimbursement and poor communication between stakeholders" Castellino et al (2026).
