"In this randomized study, CHG antimicrobial dressings significantly reduced CVC‑related local infection, improved dressing fixation, and lowered the frequency of dressing changes in HSCT patients with subclavian CVCs" Xu et al (2026).
"Emergency procedures were analyzed: peripheral intravenous access, intraosseous access, endotracheal intubation (ETI), chest tube insertion, tourniquet application, and focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST). Residents reported procedural counts and self-perceived mastery" Laitselart et al (2026).
"The internationally common bedside technique enables radiation-free PICC insertion under ultrasound control alone. This lowers the radiation load and spares resources as no angiographic intervention room is required" Buchholz et al (2026).
'Limited evidence exists regarding skin toxicity management, particularly when these reactions occur near vascular access sites. The clinical complexity is compounded by both the absence of standardized guidelines and the prolonged use of occlusive transparent dressings, which may worsen skin integrity, increase infection risks, and potentially necessitate premature catheter removal—leading to unplanned treatment delays" Shuping et al (2026).
"The position of the Association for Vascular Access is that intraosseous (IO) cannulation should be employed by qualified clinicians in all critical situations when vascular access is not established" Lau and Thompson (2026).
"Despite modest improvements in some IP practices, institutional support remains limited yet is strongly associated with practice adoption. Renewed national strategies are needed to strengthen IPC infrastructure and support the well-being of IP professionals in Thailand" Thaprawat et al (2026).
"In 2022, the initiative expanded through collaboration with regional nursing schools to integrate the Association for Vascular Access (AVA) peripheral intravenous (PIV) curriculum, establishing a sustainable educational pipeline for future clinicians" Lindell (2026).
"This retrospective study demonstrated that small improvements to controllable elements of catheter care in a broad patient population can result in significant reductions in the risk of CAT and associated costs" Zazyczny et al (2026).
"The HIT-QAT is a feasible, practical, and efficient electronic tool for hospital-wide intravenous therapy quality assessment" Lu et al (2026).
"Recently, a new device tip position (midclavicular) has been recognised. This service improvement project aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of placing a catheter in this position" Phelps (2025).
"The portable ultrasound system was associated with high first-attempt insertion success and high vascular visualization for peripheral intravenous access with no adverse events. The portable ultrasound system can be successfully used for bedside vascular access in a real-world environment" Kessel et al (2026).
"Resuscitation is initiated with fluids and vasopressors, and a central venous catheter is placed. However, during the procedure, the guide experiences resistance and cannot be removed, becoming trapped" Valencia González et al (2026).
