"During intravenous access, the highest pain assessment scores were reported by children, parents and nurses, respectively. This situation revealed that the perceived pain level differed depending on the assessor" Sezici and Yigit (2025).
"This study compared the safety and efficacy of midline catheters (MCs) and long peripheral catheters (LPCs) in patients who underwent bariatric surgery" Zhao et al (2025).
"Blood cultures (BC) are essential for the diagnosis of bloodstream infections (BSI). BSI can be inaccurately attributed due to BC contamination or bacterial translocation. Reporting BCs after patient death can be inaccurate and potentially increase BSI incidence" Heather et al (2025).
"Sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients, necessitating an evidence-based approach to fluid management" Nordin et al (2025).

"We hypothesise that a near-infrared light device (AccuVein AV500) could improve the first-attempt success rate of peripheral venous catheter (PVC) placement in intensive care patients no longer requiring a central catheter" Ferrier et al (2025).
"Flushing catheters is one of the most common practices during PIVC maintenance, as it cleans the internal catheter lumen, ensuring patency and reducing the risk of complications" Deng et al (2025).
