Local peripheral IV catheter complications in older patients

“To assess the incidence density of local complications of peripheral venous catheters in patients aged 70 years and older, to identify risk factors for local complications of peripheral venous catheters, to describe microbiological epidemiology and to assess the impact of complications on patient outcomes” Gras et al (2023).

Criteria for central venous access device selection

“Central venous access devices may be nontunneled, tunneled, or implantable. They may be centrally or peripherally inserted by way of veins in the neck, extremities, or elsewhere. Each device and access site presents specific risks that should be considered in each clinical scenario to minimize the risk of harm” Massouh et al (2023).

Radiopharmaceutical extravasation detection – Full Text

“During radiopharmaceutical injection, an extravasation event may occur, making the SUV value less accurate and possibly leading to severe tissue damage. The study aimed to propose a new technique to monitor and manage these events, to provide an early evaluation and correction to the estimated SUV value through a SUV correction coefficient” Iori et al (2023).

Treating neonatal extravasation injury – Full Text

“This preliminary report suggests that the application of AM in treating extravasation in neonates is safe and effective. However, controlled trials with larger sample sizes are needed to evaluate this outcome and determine implications for practice” Kadivar et al (2023).

Extravasation of prothrombin complex concentrate – Full Text

“The skin necrosis progressed into a full thickness chemical burn. As a result, the patient underwent allograft followed by split thickness autograft and RECELL placement. This case presentation describes the first reported case of skin necrosis following extravasation of PCC infusion during warfarin reversal” Smith et al (2023).

Y-site compatibility of obstetric IV drugs

“Therefore, this study focuses on Y-site compatibility. Since different conditions between clinical and laboratory settings can lead to discrepancies in results, a novel approach for drug intravenous compatibility testing was designed to reflect clinical conditions” Leeuwerik et al (2023).

PICC line monitoring in hospitals

“Awareness campaigns on the subject of dressing repair and pulsed rinsing were carried out, and nurses were invited to attend training sessions in the form of practical work on PICC care” Fersing et al (2023).
