The issue of unplanned central venous catheter removal – Full Text
“Unplanned CVC removal occurred in 5.71% of cases, primarily due to infection. Identified risk factors (male gender, neurological disorders, and mechanical ventilation) and protective factors (urgent insertion) highlight targets for preventive strategies in critical care” He et al (2025).
Problems associated with vasopressor infusion through peripheral intravenous catheters – Full Text
“The safety of administering vasopressors through peripheral venous catheters (PVCs) remains controversial, primarily due to concerns regarding extravasation, thrombosis, and catheter-related infections. This study aimed to systematically summarize the prevalence of these complications through a meta-analysis” Wu et al (2025).
