"OPAT was confirmed to be clinically robust and well tolerated, with additional potential benefits in preserving weight, frailty status, and cognitive well-being. These findings suggest that OPAT not only ensures infection control but may also protect against hospitalization-related functional decline" Ciusa et al (2025).
"Even peripheral IV cannulation may precipitate UEDVT when combined with local vein injury and systemic hypercoagulability. Antipsychotics, such as haloperidol and chlorpromazine, may further elevate thrombosis risk" Kwesiga et al (2025).

"DTX monotherapy-related EV occurs in 0.075% of cancer patients. The proportion of patients with a history of EV was higher among those who experienced EV than among the overall study population. Only a small proportion of patients who develop EV are prescribed topical steroids or receive consultation from the dermatology or plastic surgery department" Yanagisawa et al (2025).
"A 30 × 109/L platelet transfusion threshold appears safe for pediatric CVC insertion. Emphasizing procedural bundles and simulation-based operator training may reduce transfusion needs, associated risks, and costs" Raffaele et al (2025).
"When comparing the rate of early discontinuation between daptomycin and vancomycin in OPAT, there was no significant difference between groups. These findings suggest that either agent may be considered in the OPAT setting depending on patient-specific factors" Lanier et al (2025).
"There are associated adverse effects with intravenous (IV) vancomycin, yet there is a paucity of published literature surveying the appropriateness of use. The objective of the study was to assess the appropriateness of IV vancomycin prescriptions at a Canadian acute care hospital" Glassman et al (2025).
"Given the complexity of administration, limited stability data, and cost of these regimens, completing a 6-week course of therapy at home is challenging for both patients and OPAT programmes" White and Siegrist (2025).
"Elastomeric devices (EDs) allow infusion of antibiotic via an intravenous catheter over 24 hours, supporting outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy. We conducted a systematic review of these devices in a paediatric population" Shipman et al (2025).
"The use of this innovative device, in conjunction with an established evidence-based care bundle, was associated with low complication and contamination rates, and no cases of CRBSIs" Ruiz-Merlo et al (2025).
"The report highlights the role of POCUS in the prompt identification and treatment of hemodynamic deteriorations and posits potential utilization of POCUS as a tool in preventative surveillance" Guzman et al (2025).
"The present study aims to describe the morphometric relationship of the subclavian vein and artery to the clavicle and their angular orientation, with a particular focus on improving the safety of interventional procedures by bringing new anatomical landmarks" Muñoz-Leija et al (2025).
