Chest xray landmarks that indicate cavoatrial junction CVC tip position... "This study aims to better define the relationship between the cavoatrial junction (CAJ) and selected X-ray landmarks" Kandasamy et al (2024).

Intraosseous access pediatric patients... "This retrospective analysis of pediatric patients in a prehospital setting suggests that IO line placement at the distal femur might offer a marginally higher success rate compared to the proximal tibia" Zitek et al (2024).

Portable fluid administration system for rhinoceroses - Full Text... "Intravenous (iv) fluid administration might therefore be useful to mitigate dehydration; however, special requirements need to be met to make iv fluid administration suitable for large, wild rhinoceroses during transport" Leiberich et al (2024).

Review of vascular access device complications... "To investigate whether there are differences in the incidence of complications and indwelling time between the use of midline catheters and central venous catheters as intravenous infusion tools" Li et al (2024).

Impact of UEDVT in pediatric cancer patients... "Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a well-recognized complication in pediatric cancer patients. We aimed to determine the frequency of central venous catheter (CVC) removal and survival impact of children with cancer who develop VTE" MacDonald et al (2024).

Prehospital central venous catheter placement... "Central venous catheters can be effectively placed in the prehospital environment. Rapid, high-volume infusion of blood products can be lifesaving" Studer et al (2024).

Review of fluid resuscitation in trauma... "There have been numerous changes in resuscitation strategies for severely injured patients over the last several decades. Certain strategies, such as aggressive crystalloid resuscitation, have largely been abandoned because of the high incidence of complications and worsening of trauma-induced coagulopathy" Dhillon et al (2024).

Catheter-related candidemia in non-ICU patients - Full Text... "During the COVID-19 pandemic, Candida spp. was a notable cause of CRBSIs in our center, underscoring the importance of considering Candida spp. in suspected CRBSI cases, including those in non-ICU settings and in those with PVADs" Scaglione et al (2024).

Neonatal sedation during CICC placement... "Critically ill newborns admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit often require a centrally inserted central catheter. Achieving an appropriate level of sedation and analgesia is paramount for procedure success and patient safety, avoiding the potential risks associated with excessive deep sedation" Barone et al (2024).

Including vascular access in advanced care planning... "Advance care planning (ACP) is a process where individuals identify, express, and communicate their personal values, life goals, and preferences for care. ACP may be feasible in chemotherapy infusion centers or chronic dialysis centers during patient treatment" Yamarik et al (2024).
