"The high incidence of needlestick injuries (80.1%) underscores the importance of moving beyond theory toward enhanced clinical supervision. To address these gaps, nursing education should prioritize targeted practical training and cultivate a robust safety culture that encourages incident reporting" Marendić et al (2026).
"The use of anticoagulant drugs (both prophylactic and therapeutic), antiplatelet therapy, and PICC use significantly lowered the risk of CRT. The findings support personalized prevention strategies and underscore the need for a well-designed randomized controlled trial to validate these findings" La Cava et al (2026).
"Our findings suggest that ALT was associated with catheter retention in a considerable proportion of patients; however, given the retrospective design and potential for confounding by indication, this observation should be interpreted cautiously rather than as a definitive efficacy claim" Kaçabeti et al (2026).
"The guidelines address pre-procedural ultrasound assessment, selection of the optimal vascular access site, comparison of ultrasound-guided versus landmark cannulation at different access sites, confirmation of catheter position after cannulation, and the role of positional manoeuvres" Zawadka et al (2026).
"These findings support a growing body of evidence indicating that occupational safety in healthcare is a multidimensional phenomenon shaped by organizational conditions as well as individual factors" Bidel et al (2026).
"Prematurity, female sex, nonideal catheter tip position, and higher puncture attempts were associated with an increased risk of PICC-related complications" Zhou et al (2026).
"The objective of this paper is to compare outcomes for patients treated with healthcare administered Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (H-OPAT) versus S-OPAT (self-administered antibiotics) for the treatment of foot osteomyelitis" Tarricone et al (2026).
"Virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a non-pharmacological intervention capable of modulating attentional and emotional responses during medical procedures; however, evidence in adult oncology patients undergoing vascular access placement remains scarce" Camuccio et al (2026).
"Tunneled PICC offers significant advantages in reducing complications and improving perioperative performance. These findings suggest that tunneled PICC may be a valuable option for cancer patients" Ren et al (2026).
"Neonatal care has advanced rapidly in scientific knowledge, technology and precision over recent decades. Yet daily bedside practice does not always reflect this trajectory. The reasons are complex and multifactorial, but include resistance to change by practitioners and their organisations" van Rens et al (2026).
New Open Access publication on the Pharmacological burden and chemical phlebitis associated with peripheral venous catheters: A nested case-control study. Results of the national Flebitis…
"SC hydration has many advantages and few disadvantages for those with mild-to-moderate dehydration and cognitive impairment who need parenteral hydration. It should, in our opinion, always be considered in this population. It is important, however, that ease of use does not lead to overuse, especially where low-intake dehydration may represent part of the natural course of advanced illness" Danielsen et al (2026).
