"This nurse-led QI initiative was associated with a substantial reduction in CLABSI rates among ICU patients and improved adherence to CVC maintenance practices" Deng et al (2026).
"We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and comparative cohort studies comparing USG with landmark-guided PIVC insertion and reporting at least one post-insertion outcome" Tai-An Lee et al (2026).
"We evaluated whether Chlorhexidine/Silver Sulfadiazine (CH/SSD)-impregnated CVCs reduce the CLABSI hazard compared with plain CVCs using time-to-event methodology" Rosenthal et al (2026).

"Complications (i.e., bloodstream infections or venous thrombosis) occurred more frequently in patients with midlines (6.4 per 1,000 line-days) than peripherally inserted central catheters (1.1 per 1,000 line-days)" Kim et al (2026).
"The standardized education program substantially reduced the rate of IF A-CLABSIs and improved confidence and satisfaction among families and home health nurses" Martinez et al (2026).
"To evaluate the effect of 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (2%CHG) bathing every other day on the number of infections, catheter-related bloodstream infections (CLABSI), average length of stay, and number of deaths" de Souza Júnior et al (2026).
"Higher EHR-derived care-exposure burden was associated with higher odds of adjudicated CLABSI or CLABSI-like bloodstream infection. The score should be interpreted as a pragmatic patient-level marker of cumulative care complexity and infection-prevention prioritisation, rather than as a causal measure of care quality or nursing performance" Li et al (2026).
"CLABSI remains a significant healthcare-associated infection among ICU patients in Saudi Arabia and is associated with considerable clinical burden" Aldali et al (2026).
"There was a 68% reduction in CLABSI events. By the end of 2024, the unit achieved a CLABSI standardized infection ratio of 0.414, representing a substantial improvement compared to the 2023 ratio of 1.45. The cost avoidance from ABC implementation was about $320,787. CLABSI reduction was sustained in 2025, and ABCs were implemented on the hematology-oncology unit" Rowland Rutledge et al (2026).
"In this randomized study, CHG antimicrobial dressings significantly reduced CVC‑related local infection, improved dressing fixation, and lowered the frequency of dressing changes in HSCT patients with subclavian CVCs" Xu et al (2026).
"Emergency procedures were analyzed: peripheral intravenous access, intraosseous access, endotracheal intubation (ETI), chest tube insertion, tourniquet application, and focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST). Residents reported procedural counts and self-perceived mastery" Laitselart et al (2026).
