“Over 1 year, we aimed to increase the percent of patients meeting sufficient comfort during PICC insertions by our Vascular Access Team (VAT) from 54% to 65%” Wagoner et al (2021).
IV pump performance review
“The ability to overcome the effects of dead volume was overall similar between the syringe and peristaltic pumps, as was the response to consecutive changes in drug infusion rates” Gibson et al (2021).
Predicting IV port complications – Full Text
“The proposed system has the capacity to investigate and predict (if feasible) the clinical application and nursing effects of totally implantable intravenous port (TIVAP) in pediatric hematological tumors” Liu et al (2021).
Umbilical catheter associated cardiac tamponade
“Cardiac tamponade due to total PN effusion in the premature neonate may be fatal. The mechanism of the epicardial/pericardial effusion is not known” Nunes Marques et al (2021).
Ultrasound access images for training
“Removing the need for an external tracking system would significantly reduce the cost of Central Line Tutor and make it far more accessible to the medical trainees that would benefit from it most” Barr et al (2021).
Incidence of chemotherapy extravasation
“The most common agent to extravasate was docetaxel, and all events occurred via peripheral route. The incidence of events was lower than the reported benchmark for National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers” Ehmke (2021).
Prevention of self-removal of peripheral IV catheter
“The purpose of this study is to examine a sensor system that detects the contact of a patient’s hand to a peripheral intravenous catheter in order to prevent self-removal in patients with dementia” Amemiya et al (2021).
Phlebotomy staffing review – Full Text
“The distribution of phlebotomy staffing performance indicators among the laboratories participating in this study varied widely, even among those groups performing similar volumes of tests” Novis et al (2021).
CLABSI knowledge in Poland
“The knowledge of nursing staff in the study area is not sufficient. Studies show that the guidelines for the prevention of CLABSIs in ICUs should be standardized, and continuous training of personnel in this field should be provided” Dyk et al (2021).
PICC use in hematological disease
“Therefore, PICC catheter is worthy of application and promotion in hematological diseases” Li et al (2021).
Tools for difficult peripheral IV access
“This study compared standard technique, ultrasonography (USG), and near-infrared light (NIR) in terms of success in the first attempt in patients with DVA” Yalçınlı et al (2021).
CLABSI rates in China
“The average incidence of CLABSI in ICUs in China is 1.5/1000 catheter days, similar to the rates reported in developed countries but lower than previous reports in China” Zeng et al (2021).
IV ports and psychological support – Full Text
“Psychological support did not show any clear advantages on global QoL and body image perception in patients at 15 days after TIVAD insertion for chemotherapy” Pinto et al (2021).
Fluid warmer design dangers
“We believe the Hotline® fluid warmer lacks a crucial monitor for detecting a breach within the fluid warming set, and therefore recommend the addition of an alarm to improve this device’s safety” Brook et al (2021).
Ultrasound guided peripheral IV access complications
“The results were very clear, and the puncture failure rate and other complications of ultrasound-guided peripheral venipuncture catheterization were low” Xiong et al (2021).
