Safety profile of intravenous linezolid in hospitalised children

"IV linezolid was frequently associated with early haematological toxicity, amplified by concomitant myelotoxic therapy. Sensitivity and exposure-proxy analyses support the robustness of the signal but highlight residual confounding; prospective studies with exposure monitoring are needed to establish causality" Güneş et al (2025).

Peripheral IV line for vasopressor administration – Full Text

"Our study found that peripheral venous catheter use for vasopressor administration in circulatory shock was associated with a low extravasation rate (1.2%), with all events occurring after more than five days, indicating it might be a safe alternative to CVC for short-term use in resource-limited settings" Petros et al (2025).

Case study highlights complex port removal – Full Text

"This case series revisits endoluminal balloon dilatation, an emerging technique for removing hemodialysis catheters, to demonstrate its application and efficacy in retrieving long-term port-a-cath catheters complicated by fibrotic encapsulation, calcification, and stenosis" Thomas et al (2025).

Review of IV hydration spas – Full Text

"It may seem difficult to imagine signing up to receive an intravenous (IV) injection of a fluid that has no proven benefit at a facility that has no regulations to vouch for its safety, but that seems to be the unspoken business model of IV hydration spas" Schweitzer (2025).

Policy and practice for peripheral intravenous catheters – Full Text

"Despite a clear level of expected care for PIVCs, much unwarranted variation exists in policy and practice. Reform of local guidelines, policies, and processes to standardise PIVC care across hospitals and strategies to improve Standard adherence are needed" Lovegrove et al (2025).

Artificial intelligence-driven CLABSI prediction – Full Text

"The use of interpretable AI techniques such as SHAP enhances transparency and provides actionable insights for clinical practice. These findings support the development of early warning systems to reduce CLABSI incidence and improve patient outcomes" He et al (2025).

Getting to zero CLABSI in a burn unit

"This multidisciplinary project was associated with a decrease in the CLABSI rates in burn patients reaching zero CLABSIs the following year" Kurjatko et al (2025).
