"This study evaluates the impact of a 12-year multicenter QI initiative on ICU performance and patient outcomes in the context of resource constraints" Qiu et al (2025).
"The aim of this study was to evaluate the activity of a cationic arginine-based gemini surfactant, C9(LA)2, against mixed biofilms of fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing E. coli, and the preventive effect of this surfactant impregnated in CVCs on the formation of inter-kingdom biofilms" Pérez et al (2025).
"Nurse-driven central line insertion (NDCLI) programs offer a proactive approach to address these challenges by empowering trained vascular access nurses to perform CVC and AC insertions" Girgenti et al (2025).
"This review underscores the potential for OPAT to optimise hospital resources, improve patient outcomes and lower healthcare costs, advocating for its expansion across NHS trusts to address growing demands for sustainable and efficient healthcare delivery" Acuram et al (2025).
"In an ICU in Queensland, Australia (AU), saline (sodium chloride 0.9%) flush bags used for these lines were routinely changed every 24 h following organizational policy that all intravenous fluid bags are to be changed within a 24-h period" Padigos et al (2025).
"This paper evaluates key evidence-based updates concerning medications used for patients in cardiac arrest" Long and Gottlieb (2025).
"For patients in whom a sepsis alert was initiated, EMS clinicians adhered to the sepsis protocol and administered antibiotics prior to hospital arrival in 97% of cases.

"This abnormal placement was likely due to an occluded left brachiocephalic vein in our patient, which prevented the CVC from crossing the midline" Wallisch et al (2025).
"We aimed to determine if implementation of universal nasal decolonization with daily chlorhexidine bathing will decrease blood stream infections (BSI) in patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)" Taylor et al (2025).
"This study highlights the importance of minimizing CVC use and limiting the number of insertions to reduce CLABSI risk. Effective management strategies should focus on reducing CVC duration and frequency" Alomari et al (2025).
"Based on the results of this study, the use of combined non-pharmacological interventions of NSS has been more effective in reducing the pain caused by venous blood sampling than other conditions where two or one non-pharmacological intervention were used" Yadollahzadeh et al (2025).
