"To determine the feasibility of using a single use elastomeric pump (EP) to deliver CSCI medication for 24 hours, as an alternative to syringe drivers (SDs) at discharge” Gover et al (2026).
"Overall, findings support the technical feasibility of utilizing this combination of elastomeric pump and conditions for administration of cetuximab and trastuzumab, providing valuable insights into maintaining product stability outside traditional healthcare settings” Taherian et al (2026).
"Findings support the clinical and economic value of PORTs for long-term chemotherapy, difficult venous access, and low-maintenance needs, whereas PICCs suit shorter treatment durations, patients unsuitable for minor surgery, or settings favoring bedside insertion" Rognoni et al (2026).
"To determine the concentration and formulation of chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) or povidone-iodine (PVI) associated with the lowest incidence of catheter-related infections (CRIs)" Drugeon et al (2026).
"Patients with difficult intravenous access (DIVA) are at increased risk of delays, discomfort and complications due to multiple failed intravenous access attempts. However, evidence comparing commonly used alternatives, short midline catheters (SMLs) and central venous catheters (CVCs) in this population is limited" Mellander et al (2026).
"A rule-based chatbot designed to support PICC self-management demonstrates potential to enhance information accessibility, provide practical guidance, and offer psychosocial support” Jo et al (2026).
"This study demonstrates that tutorials on intravenous cannulation which are delivered remotely using the HoloLens 2 device are feasible, show a similar improvement in student performance to in-person tutorials, and are relatively well received by students and tutors" Connolly et al (2026).

"Cyanoacrylate glue appears to be an effective and safe alternative for securing neonatal central venous catheters. Further research is needed to standardize its use in clinical practice" Moscoso et al (2026).
"The purpose of this prospective study is to describe the incidence of CRT and FS in midline catheters in intensive care setting and to investigate the association between these events and the clinical characteristics of patients" Puzio et al (2026).
"Standardized electronic CVAD documentation could enhance surveillance, improve patient safety, and reduce manual data collection efforts" Voigt et al (2026).
