PICC tip migration in neonates – Full Text

“Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) tip migration often occurs after placement despite efforts to position the tip centrally. This study aimed to quantify PICC tip migration within 3-7 h post-insertion and evaluate the effectiveness of manual adjustments for repositioning” Diewo et al (2025).

Heparin-locking solution concentrations – Full Text

“Our findings suggest that a heparin-locking solution at a concentration of 1000 U/ml for central venous catheters (CVC) in hemodialysis patients may reduce the incidence of bleeding-related complications, without impacting the rates of catheter occlusion, hemodialysis blood flow, catheter retention time, or catheter-related infections” Wang et al (2025).

Preventing central venous catheter complications – Full Text

“There is a need to conduct training courses for nurses who work in intensive care units about the prevention of CVC complications based on standards as the results in this study indicated that there is a significant association between, nurses’ knowledge and participation in training course, about prevention of CVC complications” Jasim et al (2025).

Community CLABSI prevention bundle

“This collaborative project provides the necessary education and resources to manage and streamline central line care in the home and may help prevent complications such as CLABSI” Murray et al (2025).

Studying CRBSI with skin-like replicas – Full Text

“In IV therapy simulations, we observed bacterial growth dynamics over the incubation period. Our findings suggest that Ecoflex-based skin-like replicas can serve as a valuable tool for developing and testing new catheters, while the potential for use in other medical innovation devices, including wearable sensing devices, ultimately contributes to improved patient outcomes and infection control strategies” Althumayri et al (2025).
