"Simulation-based training (SBT) has been shown to improve trainees' CVC insertion performance effectively. However, implementing a CVC curriculum requires substantial costs and resources" Chow et al (2025).
"he novel case report of a temporary arrhythmia that developed after a positional change in a patient under general anesthesia emphasizes the possibility of potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmias that may develop owing to caudal movement of the peripherally inserted central venous catheter ([CVC] PICC) tip when changing patient positions" Utsumi et al (2025).
"Cyberlindnera fabianii, an ascomycetous yeast, is a rare human pathogen. Here, we describe the first reported case of central venous (CV) access port-related blood-stream infection caused by C. fabianii" Kawasaki et al (2025).
"Among patients with medical devices (central venous catheters, midline catheters, and lumbar drains), universal decolonization (UD) resulted in a significant and meaningful reduction in bacteremia compared with the standard of care (SOC), but cost-effectiveness is unclear" James et al (2025).
"The POET trial demonstrated that moving from intravenous to oral antibiotics in stable patients with left-sided infective endocarditis (IE) was noninferior to fully parenteral treatment" Cuervo et al (2025).

"This study aimed to demonstrate the usefulness of ultrasound in evaluating complications in subcutaneous tissue associated with unplanned extraction of tunneled CVC" Hosokawa et al (2025).
"This review explores the epidemiology and risk factors of CR-DVT, diagnostic, prophylactic and treatment strategies, guideline recommendations, and future advances in the field, including the introduction of novel anticoagulants" King et al (2025).
"This research explores how clinicians manage IV potassium infusions. Our findings uncover how frequently clinicians manage pain caused by IV potassium infusions, an area that is not well-documented" Colgan et al (2025).
"The aim of the current investigation was to compare the performance of novice and advanced sonographers using a tofu model for IV cannula placement using either ultrasound static (US) or dynamic (UD) techniques" Hayward et al (2025).
"Sedillot's triangle (ST), formed between the sternal and clavicular heads of sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle, is often used as an anatomical landmark for internal jugular vein (IJV) cannulation, but its reliability has been questioned" Patra et al (2025).
