"This paper describes an insertion bundle-developed by GAVeCeLT, the Italian Group of Long-Term Venous Access Devices, and nicknamed "SIC-Port" (Safe Insertion of Chest-Port)-which consists of few evidence-based strategies aiming to further minimize all immediate, early, or late complications potentially associated with chest-port insertion" Brescia et al (2025).
"Preparing families to care for children with intestinal failure in the home may bolster caregiver preparedness but also impose a significant burden. Developing programs that offer optimal training, support, and interventions for caregivers can help alleviate stress and improve outcomes for both children and their families" Davis et al (2025).
"Elastomeric pump-based OPAT is a clinically effective, well-tolerated, and economically advantageous option for selected infections. Its integration into stewardship programs supports broader implementation within modern, sustainable infectious disease care models" Babich et al (2025).
"This study aimed to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics and long-term trends of bloodborne occupational exposure (BOE) among healthcare workers (HCWs) in a tertiary hospital in China from 2012 to 2022 (11 years) and evaluate BOE-associated factors during COVID-19 pandemic" Wang et al (2025).
"Increased frequency of CVC access is associated with a higher risk of CLABSI. Interventions to reduce CVC access for blood draws can effectively lower CLABSI rates. Identifying and implementing strategies such as use of phlebotomy teams and standardized sampling protocols may help guide hospital policies and improve patient safety outcomes" Davis et al (2025).
"Given an increase in central-line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) since the COVID-19 pandemic and low compliance with the CLABSI prevention bundle among intensive care unit (ICU) registered nurses (RNs), it is imperative to identify barriers to implementation in the critical care setting" Nguyen et al (2025).
"This study underscores the high prevalence of CRBSIs and the concerning presence of molecular resistance markers in key pathogens. The predominance of carbapenemase genes such as blaNDM, blaKPC, and OXA variants highlights the urgent need for molecular diagnostics and robust antibiotic stewardship in India" Reddy et al (2025).
"A multimodal intervention significantly reduced CLABSI rates in the PICU, demonstrating the importance of comprehensive strategies in infection prevention. However, sustained compliance is essential to maintain these improvements" Subroongruang et al (2025).
"PN is associated with an increased risk of CLABSI in ward patients but not in ICU patients, suggesting context-dependent risk. Further work is needed to determine effective strategies for reducing rates of CLABSI among patients receiving PN hospital-wide and to validate these findings in broader patient populations" Gorsch et al (2025).
"These findings highlight the distal cephalic vein of the forearm as a practical and preferred initial site for peripherally compatible infusions when guided by structured ultrasound assessment, particularly in patients without renal impairment" Ostroff et al (2025).
"We found no significant association between the administration of irritants through midline catheters and catheter-related complications. However, the drug indications for midline catheters need to be further confirmed by well-conducted randomized clinical trials with large cohorts of patients" Zhang et al (2025).
"ICU nurses demonstrated generally inadequate knowledge of CLABSI prevention strategies, with less than one-third (28.2%) showing a high level of knowledge" Kahindi et al (2025).
