"Anthropometric parameter-based prediction formulas provide precise guidance for lower extremity PICC placement in VLBWI, enhancing placement success and safety" Li et al (2026).
"This case demonstrates the feasibility of stepwise dual-access endovascular techniques for retrieval of complex embolized PICC fragments from the pulmonary circulation, particularly in resource-constrained settings" Hassanali et al (2026).

"Although US-guided cannulation shows potential for increasing first-attempt success, the current evidence is limited by significant unit-of-analysis errors and clinical heterogeneity related to the operator learning curve" Chang et al (2026).
"This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a topical hemostatic product (StatSeal®, Biolife, LLC, Sarasota, Fl) on the frequency of dressing changes and catheter-associated complications following PICC insertion" Levit et al (2026).
"This study compared catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) outcomes and duration-modifying effects between gentamicin-heparin and heparin-only lock protocols" Tsai et al (20260.
"Although daily chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) bathing is recommended for patients with central venous catheters (CVCs), adherence is often inconsistent in non-intensive care unit (ICU) settings where device visibility and maintenance workflows may be less standardized" Nayyer et al (2026).
"In this large neonatal cohort, 26G SPCs were associated with a statistically longer dwell time than 24G SPCs, although the absolute difference was small. Therapy completion and complication rates were comparable between the groups, whereas first-attempt insertion success rates were higher with 26G SPCs" van Rens et al (2026).
"Despite a general alignment with evidence-based standards in certain areas, variation persists in practices such as disinfection methods, flushing techniques, and locking strategies" Hernández et al (2026).
"This article provides an overview of central venous access devices, with a particular focus on the benefits of implantable ports for long-term care and the role of the Safetouch Huber Infusion Set in facilitating access to implantable ports" Mozas et al (2026).
"RTA Ecoflac® plus infusions reduced preparation time by 50-62% (mean 82 s versus 163-214 s; P<0.05) and required 63-70% fewer components. RTA syringe preparation achieved 6-25% time savings" Deacon et al (2026).
"Although several clinical factors have been associated with MDR infections, there is still a lack of practical and individualized predictive tools to facilitate early risk stratification in intensive care unit (ICU) patients" Fu etal (2026).
