“A missed guide wire remaining inside the venous system after peripherally inserted in femoral vein that was incidentally diagnosed by taking a chest X-ray after three months” Eskandarian et al (2022).
Nurse infusion team task relocation
“The results indicate that, although infusion task reallocation may be a cost-reducing approach to managing clinical responsibilities, it enlarges rather than enriches the job through higher demands and fewer resources for nurses and, in turn, lower perceived organizational safety” Pratt et al (2022).
Intraperitoneal hematoma after femoral catheterization – Full Text
“Presented to the emergency department from a skilled nursing facility with a two-day history of dyspnea. She was later diagnosed with an intraperitoneal hematoma, an uncommon complication caused by a CVC placement” Shah et al (2022).
Vascular access procedural adaptations during COVID-19 – Full Text

Inadvertent intra-arterial catheterisation in a paediatric patient
“We recommend always using a real time ultrasound tip navigation and location protocol, like the Neo-ECHOTIP protocol, to confirm the correct position of the guidewire and the catheter” Musella et al (2022).
Research into CHG use in neonates
“We used zebrafish model to verify the effects of early-life exposure to CHG on the developing nervous system, highlighting its impact on oligodendrocyte development and myelination” Choi et al (2022).
Vascular access procedure trends in NICU
“There has also been an increase in utilization of fluoroscopic / ultrasound guidance for the placement of central venous catheters” Sammour et al (2022).
Femoral vein access complication
“Catheters may stray into the right ascending lumbar vein if they are placed through the right femoral vein. Frontal abdominal radiographs may be insufficient to confirm catheter placement” Ishihara et al (2022).
