"The study underscores the importance of national registries in monitoring and improving OPAT services and calls for integration of microbiological data to enhance stewardship" Reidy et al (2025).
"The chest port was placed 10 months prior without complication. An initial fluoroscopic image of the chest revealed detachment and migration of the catheter towards the right atrium. The catheter was successfully retrieved with a gooseneck snare using an inferior approach through the femoral vein" Van Vorst et al (2025).
"Based on this initial experience, we conclude that ultrasound-guided innominate vein cannulation is feasible and safe for infants under 4.5 kg" D' Alessandro et al (2025).
"The guideline includes practical tools, such as checklists and detailed information on sampling devices, to facilitate implementation. This initiative would help standardize blood collection practices, improve specimen quality, and enhance patient care by ensuring accurate laboratory results in clinical settings" Chang et al (2025).
"To prevent fatal complications such as cardiac tamponade, PICCs should be positioned in safe area. Proper placement in the superior vena cava should be confirmed and maintained" Shin et al (2025).
"In this case report, we describe a seven-week-old male infant with dehydration secondary to Escherichia coli pyelonephritis. After multiple failed IV attempts, even under general anesthesia, hypodermoclysis was performed" Taha et al (2025).
"We describe 2 unusual peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) malpositions in the left thymic vein and the right middle thyroid vein, which are, to our knowledge, the first 2 cases of PICC malposition in these 2 veins" Li et al (2025).
"The introduction of propofol changed our understanding of pediatric anesthesia pharmacology, research approaches for intravenous drug study, and led to infusion pump development for the maintenance phase of anesthesia" Anderson and Cortinez (2025).
"Postnatal umbilical cord blood sampling (PCBS), rather than obtaining blood from the neonate, avoids significant neonatal blood loss at a critical time of extrauterine transition and prevents phlebotomy pain in infants without a catheter for blood drawing" Kaufman et al (2025).
"In a cohort of medical students with minimal prior experience in USGIV placement, biplane imaging was not associated with reduction in time to successful USGIV placement, but was associated with a reduction in posterior wall punctures" Thom et al (2025).
"This study explores final-year nursing students' experiences with venepuncture and peripheral intravenous cannulation, focusing on both educational and clinical practice settings" Hernon et al (2025).
"Based on our findings, we recommend providing an NIR vein-finder device and ultrasound training to improve venous access in hospital settings and encourage further research to evaluate their effectiveness" Bennakhi et al (2025).
