"An on-site technologist initiated emergency protocol and activated a telemedicine emergency alert, prompting real-time audiovisual communication with an already connected remote supervising physician. Under remote physician guidance, the on-site team administered two 0.3 mg intramuscular doses of epinephrine, supplemental oxygen, and airway positioning maneuvers, with subsequent improvement in oxygenation and systolic blood pressure before EMS arrival" Soni et al (2026).
"On this basis, we propose a protocol for Safe Insertion of Peripheral Venous Catheters (SIPVeC), a seven-step insertion bundle formatted the same way as the protocols already available for umbilical and central devices in the neonate" Barone et al (2026).
"Order review before non-urgent preparation, reconstitution and checking, storage and return pathways, and syringe, pump and line handling are candidate targets; no controlled adult ICU study has shown reduced loss without affecting access, dose delivery, sterility, compatibility or workload" Liang et al (2026).
"We evaluated patency and quantified the configuration-specific reintervention burden of upper-extremity arteriovenous accesses over 15 years at a single center" Cho and Joh (2026).
"This narrative review examines artificial intelligence and sensing technologies for vascular access care, based on PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov searches through 22 August 2026 with citation chaining" Sessa et al (2026).
"This scoring system, derived from a two-phase study, identified clear predictive criteria for procedure success or failure, and demonstrated a direct correlation between the score and the probability of failure. This suggests the potential usefulness of implementing this system to improve initial patient assessment before SPC insertion" Godiveau et al (2026).
"These findings highlight a key limitation of conventional methods in detecting polymicrobial infections and underscore the need for more sensitive diagnostics. qPCR offers improved detection, particularly when organism abundance and growth rates vary" Doualeh et al (2026).
