Normal saline push-pause flush for implanted port patency

"Preliminary analysis showed low overall port occlusion rates, regardless of the locking solution used. A Fisher's exact test revealed no significant association between the type of locking solution and port occlusion. Interim findings suggest that when used with the pulsatile flush technique, normal saline may be as effective as heparin in maintaining port patency" Mueller et al (2025).

Review of four intraosseous devices for vascular access

"This meta-analysis provides insights that, although battery-powered drill device showed the best outcomes, the wide confidence intervals and lack of statistically significant differences between devices highlight the need for further research with larger sample sizes and standardized safety reporting protocols, to establish conclusions regarding optimal IO device for EDs" Suman et al (2025).
