Quality improvement interventions in medical oncology

"Although cancer treatment continues to evolve, QI strategies in medical oncology remain underexplored. While all identified interventions were beneficial, generalizability is limited by single-center settings and methodological constraints" Zachou et al (2025).

Doxorubicin extravasation from a PICC-port – Full Text

"Following the surgical and pharmacological treatment, the patient achieved a restoration of normal limb function, thus resuming all regular activities. This outcome was made possible primarily due to the timely and professional intervention of the multidisciplinary team, which minimized the severe complications that doxorubicin extravasation can cause" Calabrò et al (2025).

Evidence for safe management of vasopressors through peripheral IV catheters – Full Text

"The following 29 pieces of evidence for safe management of vasopressors through peripheral intravenous catheters were finally recommended. However, due to the multinational origin of the evidence, feasibility, appropriateness, clinical significance, and effectiveness must be evaluated within institutional contexts prior to implementation" Chen et al (2025).

What are the clinical factors contributing to poor PIVC care

"This study provides valuable knowledge from clinicians with an in-depth understanding of the clinical factors contributing to poor PIVC practices. Efforts to improve these practices and address the key themes identified will depend on strong leadership and a coordinated approach across the system" Havers et al (2025).

PICC removal difficulty caused by fibroblastic sleeve – Full Text

"The fibroblastic sleeve was identified as wrapping around the catheter's tip, leading to significant resistance during removal. The treatment approach involved thrombolysis, specifically using urokinase slowly injected into the catheter, combined with the application of a tourniquet" Lyu and Li (2025).

ECMO-specific BSI reduction bundle

"The introduction of an ECMO-specific BSI reduction bundle resulted in a greater than 10-fold reduction in BSI. There was a trend towards statistically significant improvement in mortality between the two groups. We believe that this intervention is implementable at other hospitals" Khan et al (2025).

Combined ultrasound and pseudotunneling technique for PICC insertion

"Peripherally inserted central catheters are increasingly utilized, but placement can be challenging due to anatomical constraints and the need for an adequate catheter-to-vein ratio and optimal exit site positioning. This paper presents a novel approach combining in-plane oblique axis ultrasound guidance with pseudotunneling for catheter insertion in a complex anatomical scenario" Simone et al (2025).
