"Tunnelled catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) in haemodialysis (HD) are challenging to manage due to biofilm formation. Ethanol lock therapy (ELT) has demonstrated potential as an adjunct to antibiotics for catheter salvage, but robust evidence is limited" Prasad et al (2026).
"The authors carried out this study to explore the experiences of physicians with central venous catheter (CVC) training and to identify opportunities for improvement" Abou Farah et al (2026).
"Reducing central venous catheter usage for hemodialysis among patients with kidney failure receiving maintenance hemodialysis is an important priority" Bailoor et al (2026).
"The results highlight the need for incorporating realistic loading conditions and comfort metrics when evaluating the performance of infusion line securement aids" Morgan et al (2026).
"These findings contribute to the characterization of the microbiological profile of CRBSIs in pediatric patients with IF and support the use of advanced preventive strategies, such as taurolidine lock therapy, to reduce infection rates in children receiving long-term PN" Vicentin de Souza et al (2026).
"The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of replacing the connector assembly in resolving occlusion of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) during parenteral nutrition (PN) administration" Li et al (2026).
"This case report describes the management of a severe skin injury caused by amphotericin B colloidal dispersion extravasation in an immunocompromised patient, carried out by bedside nurses" Liu et al (2026).
"To compare the efficacy, safety, and operational efficiency of the intermittent negative-pressure guidewire technique and the stay-locking technique in restoring the function of thrombotically occluded peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs)" Li et al 92026).
"We retrospectively reviewed consecutive ultrasound-guided mid-thigh lower-extremity PICC placements performed under a standardized protocol (15 cm below the inguinal ligament; fixed 55-cm insertion depth) in an adult ICU and extracted indication patterns, catheter dwell time, removal reasons, and microbiological findings" Chang et al (2026).
"Mental imagery is an effective, safe, low-cost strategy that significantly enhances simulation-based procedural performance and learner confidence in PVC insertion" Boulet et al (2026).
"This study found a high prevalence of inappropriate VAD selection in hospitalised patients, especially among PVADs, although with no increased risk of complications. Further studies are needed to address effective strategies for improving the selection of VADs" Pinelli et al (2026).
"The developed 3D silicone phantom provides a realistic, affordable, and reproducible neonatal vascular access simulator. User feedback supports its fidelity and utility, and its low material cost enables broad implementation in neonatal procedural training programs" Zoellner et al (2026).
