When to x-ray after ultrasound-guided TIVAP insertion

"Routine post-procedural chest X-ray identified catheter tip malpositioning in a subset of patients; however, these findings did not alter clinical management in the absence of port dysfunction. Selective imaging in patients with failed port functionality may safely reduce unnecessary radiation exposure and healthcare costs without compromising outcomes" Karakoç et al (2026)

IVTEAM

Persistent candidemia impact on 30-day mortality

"Persistent candidemia occurred in one in five patients and was independently associated with increased 30-day mortality. Early catheter removal emerged as the only independent protective factor, underscoring the importance of prompt source control and systematic follow-up blood cultures in the management of candidemia" Suarez-Urquiza et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Extended dwell IV catheter longevity

"In our center, 2023-2024, use of EDCs as opposed to PIVs in PICU cases was associated with longer duration of use, suggesting preferred use of EDCs in patients requiring medium-term IV access, but not meeting criteria for central access" Cusson et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Autonomous vascular access

"Autonomous or semi‑autonomous "autonomous vascular access" (AVA) platforms have the promise to standardize technique, accelerate placement by a wider range of providers, extend cannulation capability to austere settings, and reduce complication‑related morbidity" Grunhut et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Recanalization of complete central venous occlusion

"This case demonstrates that the combined use of kissing-wire and wire tensioning techniques for hemodialysis-related central venous occlusion is feasible and provides a valuable technical option for the endovascular management of complex central venous occlusions" Liet al (2026).

IVTEAM

Multidisciplinary home parenteral nutrition program – Full Text

"These findings support the feasibility of safe long-term HPN delivery in resource-constrained public healthcare settings and describe a replicable implementation model encompassing structured multidisciplinary care, formalized nursing-led training, and graduated post-discharge follow-up" da Cunha Rana et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Short peripheral intravenous catheter dislodgement

"The objective of this study was to describe the Biodesign methodology and its application in developing and evaluating a new medical device to reduce short peripheral intravenous catheter dislodgement" Blacker et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Central venous catheter tip position

"We compared complications across tip positions: Zone A (CAJ/lower superior vena cava [SVC]/upper right atrium), Zone B (upper SVC), and Zone C (left brachiocephalic vein)" Imai et al (2026).

IVTEAM

Ultrasound-Guided peripheral IV vein selection – Full Text

"These findings indicate that integrating vascular ultrasound throughout the peripheral venous access pathway provides a standardized workflow that improves clinical outcomes, enhances nursing efficiency, and reduces medical risk" Zhang and Li (2026).

IVTEAM

Review of online OPAT educational resources – Full Text

"To identify and appraise high-quality, free-to-access educational resources available in the English language across grey literature to support OPAT service delivery for healthcare professionals and/or patients" Watson et al (2026).
