"Through a participatory approach, we developed a set of IPC nursing practices for VAP and CLABSI. Implementing a multimedia tool, which encompasses the newly implemented IPC practices, improved compliance with many practices" Bijarania et al (2024).

"Among adults and children who were referred for PICC placement, the risk of device failure due to noninfectious or infectious complications was not lower with hydrophobic or chlorhexidine PICCs than with standard polyurethane PICCs" Ullman et al (2025).
"The aim of the current study is to determine the rate of complications and patient outcomes when NE is administered through midline catheters (MCs) in intermediary care units (IMCUs)" Karlsson et al (2024).
"There is variability in personal hygiene recommendations to patients with CVCs, highlighting the need for high quality evidence in this area. A rigorous prospective study examining patient-reported outcomes and CVC-related infections is needed prior to recommending to patients with a CVC that showering is safe" Collins et al (2025).
"Pantoea eucrina, a member of the Erwiniaceae family, is a rarely reported human pathogen primarily associated with plants. This study presents a documented case of catheter-related bloodstream infection caused by P. eucrina in a 60-year-old female receiving home parenteral nutrition" Kølle et al (2025).
"There has been an increase in real-time ultrasonography use in central venous catheterisation. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the role of real-time ultrasound use in umbilical venous catheterisation in neonates" Anne et al (2025).
"Our findings show the clinical implications of thrombus evaluation and morphologic classification to properly assess the risk factors of CVCRT in children with heart disease" Nozawa et al (2024).

"The use of peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) contributes to healthcare-associated infections. In 2017, we implemented a multifaceted de-implementation strategy that successfully reduced the inappropriate use of catheters in seven hospitals in the Netherlands (RICAT-1 study). Five years later, we investigated the sustainability of this strategy and the contributing factors" van Horrik et al (2024).
"Therefore, to improve the prevention of PICC-associated bacteremias in patients, our data should encourage local infection prevention teams to implement targeted educational programs to reinforce strict aseptic practices during catheter manipulations and dressing changes" van der Mee-Marquet et al (2025).
