"Although national benchmarks recommend contamination rates of less than 3%, the Department of Veterans Affairs sets a more stringent goal of less than 1%. Many emergency departments face challenges in consistently meeting this standard. This project aimed to reduce blood culture contamination through a series of evidence-based interventions" Mikovich et al (2026).
"Although less frequent than central venous catheter infections, PVC-related bloodstream infections represent an important public health concern due to their widespread use. Incidence is likely underestimated because of limited reporting and variable diagnostic criteria" Piuco Preve et al (2026).
"Our findings stress the need for targeted nursing education, structured support for reflective practice, and fostering a ward culture where nurses consistently apply evidence-based practices for PICC dressing and securement" Larsen et al (2026).
"PICCs represent a feasible and minimally invasive option for central venous access in patients with acute leukemia undergoing chemotherapy induction, with a favorable safety profile in terms of CR-bleeding, sDVT, and BSI in our real-world experience" Picardi et al (2026).
"These data highlight the central role of antimicrobial stewardship in OPAT gate keeping and the importance of measuring the unseen and wider healthcare service impact of OPAT" Rimbi et al (2026).
"In patients with CIF and prior CRBSI, 1.35% taurolidine is a clinically superior and cost-saving secondary prevention strategy that reduces recurrent CRBSIs, CVC removals, and hospital resource use" Nerstrøm et al (2026).
A new Open Access publication on Femoral artery cannulation for arterial pressure measurement in the intensive care unit: current evidence and description of the technique…
"Catheter-related superficial venous thrombosis (SVT) of the upper extremity is a frequent complication of peripheral venous cannulation and longer peripheral devices such as midline catheters and peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs)" Siniscalchi et al (2026).
"Maladministration events occurred infrequently and were predominantly associated with diagnostic procedures, with minimal patient harm in most cases. In contrast, extravasation and toxicity related to therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, particularly high-energy beta emitters, carried greater clinical significance" Sutaşır et al (2026).
"Existing CRBSI prediction models demonstrate good discriminatory ability and clinical applicability. Identified risk factors can inform clinical early warning systems. However, methodological limitations and lack of external validation constrain current evidence" Liu et al (2026).
"We evaluated an Epic-based outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) order set to assess its impact on clinical workflows and analytics" Alsafadi et al (2026).
"To systematically evaluate the application value and implementation effectiveness of a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)-based bundled management strategy in the precise prevention and control of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a specialized oncology hospital" Zhang et al (2026).
