Postnatal umbilical cord blood sampling – Full Text

“Postnatal umbilical cord blood sampling (PCBS), rather than obtaining blood from the neonate, avoids significant neonatal blood loss at a critical time of extrauterine transition and prevents phlebotomy pain in infants without a catheter for blood drawing” Kaufman et al (2025).

OPAT administration of intravenous ganciclovir

“Ganciclovir via OPAT is a viable option in patients requiring an extended duration of IV therapy. In our cohort of 18 patients, only one had early discontinuation of therapy due to ganciclovir-related AKI. Close monitoring of labs and an established OPAT protocol can allow for successful completion of therapy” Patel et al (2025).

Parenteral nutrition extravasation in newborns – Full Text

“We report two cases: one of neonatal hydrothorax with subsequent lung cystic formation after a parenteral nutrition leakage caused by the displacement of an Epicutaneo-Caval Catheter in the basilic vein of the left arm; the second involves a peritoneal collection of parenteral nutrition from the umbilical venous catheter” Coramusi et al (2025).

Vascular access devices for systemic anti-cancer therapy survey

“A recent scoping review discovered a significant deficit in the literature covering clinical aspects of vascular access device (VAD) selection, insertion, and, in particular, training and education. To answer some of these questions, we are conducting a quantitative survey throughout Europe to investigate healthcare professionals’ current practices surrounding vascular access devices used for systemic anti-cancer therapy” Duggan et al (2025).
