"CVAD-associated complications remain a palpable cost in paediatric cancer care, with CLABSI carrying the highest cost burden. Therefore, investing in preventative care is encouraged to minimise the burden of complication costs to the healthcare system, and reduce the physical and emotional burden on patients and their families" Comber et al (2026).
"Given the mirror-image anatomy, the anatomically relocated left internal jugular vein should be preferentially selected for totally implantable venous access port placement because of its more favorable anatomical course compared with the right internal jugular vein" Shao et al (2026).
"Knowing the VIP stage is also important because it can reflect the quality of care delivered. A patient whose cannula site is recognised at VIP score 2 and promptly managed is more likely to have received regular inspection and appropriate intervention than a patient whose site progresses to VIP score 4 before action is taken. In this sense, the stage at which phlebitis is identified can act as a marker of how effectively staff are monitoring and responding to peripheral intravenous cannulas" IVTEAM (2026).
"The framework is demonstrated in vivo at the antecubital fossa beneath a PIVC dressing, where region based effective strain analysis reveals a clear mechanical hierarchy at the skin-device interface, with strain concentrating in the peri-insertion tissue at the dressing margin" Surlis et al (2026).
"We report a 67-year-old man undergoing modified radical neck dissection in whom the abrupt cessation of infusion revealed a fracture of an 18-gauge PIVC placed on the dorsum of the hand. Ultrasonography confirmed retained intravascular fragments" Baytar et al (2026).
"We reported a case of 78-year-old patient, whose PICC was found kinked. After the adjustment, the blood flowed smoothly again. On the next day, catheter was found to be occluded and Color Doppler Flow Imaging (CDFI) shown that it occurred multiple deep vein thrombosis" Zhang and Feng (2026).
New publication on Pressure Monitoring–Augmented Long-Axis In-Plane Versus Long-Axis In-Plane Alone for Ultrasound-Guided Radial Artery Catheterization in Elderly Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A…
"In this single-center pilot cohort of 70 neonates, ultrasound-guided midline catheters achieved a high rate of complication-free dwell time, with predominantly minor, self-limiting complications" Zanetto et al (2026).
"These findings suggest that PP biomaterials are more prone to cause phlebitis than ETFE. Therefore, nurses are advised to be more selective in choosing the peripheral intravenous catheter biomaterial type to minimize the risk of phlebitis complications in patients" Atsah et al (2026).
"This scoping review aimed to describe and analyze educational methodologies used for teaching peripheral venipuncture to nursing students" Marques Frota et al (2026).
"The aim of this study was to determine the effect of jet lidocaine on pain and anxiety during peripheral venous access" Aydin and Uzun (2026).
"In tertiary hospitals, nurses' knowledge was significantly associated with professional title, PICC care experience, workplace guidelines, and self-reported training needs" Xu et al (2026).
