"Decreasing ambient pressure causes bubble formation, which displaces fluid, and increasing ambient pressure causes bubble reabsorption in mechanical infusion devices. Hence, atmospheric pressure changes during air travel may alter fluid delivery from medical fluid delivery systems and affect critically ill patients who require both aeromedical evacuation and accurate infusion of drugs" Fan et al (2025).
"Patients in critical care units (CCUs) are at an increased risk of bloodstream infections (BSIs), which can be associated with central vascular catheters (CVCs). This study describes BSIs, CVC-BSIs, organism distribution, percentage of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) organisms, and case fatality rates (CFRs) over the first six years of a voluntary national CCU surveillance programme in England" Conroy et al (2025).
"PVC-related bacteraemias and the severity of infection remain an under-acknowledged and under-recognised topic within health care, with further research required" Brunn (2025).
"PIVCs often cause pain, irritation, or infection. Regular and careful catheter checks can decrease complications and improve patient outcomes" Ray-Barruel et al (2025).
"With pneumothorax being a key complication of CVC procedures, this research aims to provide evidence-based recommendations for optimizing imaging protocols and minimizing unnecessary imaging risks" Breitwieser et al (2024).
"Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and clinical review were used to characterize 14 cases of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) due to Staphylococcus epidermidis" Zhou et al (2025).
"This study evaluated the efficacy of daily 2% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) bathing in reducing HAI incidence, specifically CAUTI, CLABSI, and multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), in a 20-bed ICU at a regional hospital" Chang et al (2025).
"In this meta-analysis, the ΔCaval index test showed higher diagnostic accuracy for fluid responsiveness compared with other venous tests. Caval and jugular indices displayed similar accuracy, and caval indices were consistent under mechanical ventilation and spontaneous breathing. Indices generally outperformed absolute values, except for IVCmin, which equaled the caval index in efficacy." Berikashvili et al (2025).
"Premature infants admitted to the NICU frequently undergo painful procedures with moderate or severe pain intensity. Therefore, it is recommended to use appropriate pain management to increase growth and development, maintain and promote health in infants" Barzegari et al (2024).
"There was no difference in overall complication rates between the implantation techniques. Further prospective randomized controlled trials would clarify the most effective technique" Melo-Pinto et al (2024).
"Enhanced VAT consultation and simplified protocol dissemination may improve consistency in infection management and ultimately lead to better patient outcomes" Colaneri et al (2025).
"Difficult PICC removal can result after prolonged dwell times. When conventional noninvasive interventions are unsuccessful, fluoroscopy-guided guidewire-assisted technique is a safe and effective method for the removal of adherent PICC" Xu et al (2024).
