"In this study, the incidence of peripheral intravenous cannula-induced phlebitis was high, with a lower median time of phlebitis onset. The key predictors were female sex, large cannula, receipt of a blood transfusion, and administration of potassium chloride and vancomycin" Beyene et al (2025).
"This study aimed to compare the effects of taurolidine-citrate and unfractionated heparin lock solutions on catheter function, infection and thrombosis rates, and inflammatory markers in children with malignancies" Eghbali et al (2025).
"The BD PosiFlush SafeScrub, with its integrated disinfection unit, yielded approximately double the scrub-the-hub compliance (34%) before flushing compared to the standard practice of alcohol pads and pre-filled saline syringes (17%), supporting its role in facilitating adherence to ANTT® which may reduce microbial growth" De Boer et al (2025).
"For appropriately selected patients requiring admission-level care, ED-initiated OPAT can be a cost-saving substitute for hospitalization. Given limited safety data, benefits remain conditional on rigorous patient selection to avoid overuse and on structured early reassessment to mitigate early revisit risks" Chen et al (2025).
"When 0-1 risk factors are present, PICC insertion is safe even for patients with low platelet counts. If ≥ 2 risk factors exist, the decision to insert a PICC should consider the patient's clinical symptoms and needs. Blood product intervention does not affect the bleeding rate" Zhang et al (2025).
"This review underscores the need for nurses to consistently implement evidence-based interventions to prevent infections related to venous catheters, reduce complications, and improve patient outcomes" Costa et al (2025).

"The findings indicate that the Valsalva manoeuvre and breathing exercises are effective non-pharmacological techniques for reducing pain during peripheral intravenous catheterization" Akçoban et al (2025).
"This review aimed to identify the mean cost of CVAD-associated complications in paediatric hospital-based care and explore cost variation based on clinical and health services characteristics" Comber et al (2025).
