Catheter-related thromboembolism risk associated PICC and midline catheters

"Midline catheters demonstrated no significant differences in the thrombotic profile compared to PICCs. Therefore, VTE risk alone should not determine catheter choice. Future prospective studies with standardized definitions and improved reporting are essential to guide optimal vascular access choice" Santagata et al (2026).

Hemodynamic resuscitation for septic shock

"Intravenous fluids and vasoactive medications represent the foundation of hemodynamic resuscitation for septic shock. Based on current evidence, initial fluid resuscitation of roughly 30 mL/kg with balanced crystalloids is reasonable for most patients" Graham et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Intraosseous vascular access device for outpatient infusions

"This prospective, single-arm, first-in-human study evaluated the feasibility and safety of the fully subcutaneous IO device over a 7-day implant with daily infusions in patients with challenging venous access or CKD" Ulloa et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Peripheral venous access for plasma exchange

"In this report, low-volume centrifugal PLEX to treat liver disease was performed via peripheral venous access in 18% of patients. P-PLEX was done in the ward, with similar efficiency and better line-related safety; however, the PLEX duration was prolonged by 30 min" Janeela et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Impact of vascular access choice on infusion phlebitis rates

"The prevalence of drugs with a high risk of phlebitis in intensive care units is elevated. Drug physicochemical properties significantly influence the risk of phlebitis and should be incorporated into bedside vascular-access selection" Gallardo et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Efficacy of IV catheter lock solutions

"his systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis synthesized available evidence by comparing different CLs directly and indirectly to prevent CLABSI and rank their effectiveness" Liu et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Management of immunocompromised OPAT patients

"OPAT proved to be an effective and safe strategy for managing Gram-negative infections in immunocompromised patients. Close clinical and laboratory monitoring contributed to favorable outcomes. Further studies are needed to optimize OPAT protocols in this population" Passerotto et al (2026).
