Sensor for accurate intravenous fluid monitoring – Full Text

"To mitigate the elevated risk of complications (e.g., air embolism) arising from delayed response to infusion endpoints, this paper designs a flexible double pole capacitive (FPB) sensor, which includes a main pole plate, an adaptive pole plate, and a back shielding electrode" He et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Development of a retractable safety needle for injection safety – Full Text

"This study supports nurse-led device development in advancing engineering-based strategies to reduce occupational exposure and improve injection safety. Findings may inform future implementation of medication preparation systems to mitigate healthcare-associated infections in practice" Liu et al (2025).

Ultrasound estimation of internal jugular vein wall depth during central line placement

"The needle length required to reach the average sonographic midpoint of the IJ vein is approximately 1.48 cm with a range of 0.8 to 2.7 cm. As ultrasound does not intrinsically prevent needle over insertion, proceduralists, particularly less experienced operators, need to be mindful of needle depth to reduce complications from excessive needle tip penetration" Olayode et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Assessing needle-stick injury risks

"This study aims to identify and assess the risk of injuries caused by needles and sharps among healthcare personnel in a tertiary care hospital in Pune, by application of healthcare failure mode and effect analysis (HFMEA) tool" Joshi et al (2025).

Extravasation of anticancer drugs – updated recommendations

"Adherence to these recommendations significantly decreases the risk and mitigates the consequences of extravasation. Clinical sites may adapt and expand these guidelines based on local policies and specific patient care requirements" Vokurka et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Strategy to address future challenges in intravenous therapy

"Vascular access devices, including peripheral intravenous catheters, are widely utilized for intravenous therapy in hospitals; however, they are associated with risks and complications. Nearly 50% of these catheters are removed in an unplanned manner, which exacerbates the problem of catheter-associated bloodstream infections, leading to serious consequences such as increased mortality and higher hospital costs" Rodríguez-Calero et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Iodinated contrast media extravasation treatment

"To evaluate the efficacy of 75% alcohol wet compression as a noninvasive treatment for contrast medium extravasation (CMEX) during contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT)" Wen et al (2025).

IVTEAM

Sharps safety guidelines update from AORN

"The recently updated AORN "Guideline for sharps safety" provides perioperative team members with information on identifying potential sharps hazards and interventions to prevent sharps injuries" Speth (2025).
