Summary: Analysis of nearly 5000 patients revealed that using ultrasound guidance for catheter insertion is associated with increased risk of infection, especially in jugular and femoral veins.

Summary: This study explores the experiences and perceptions of intensive care nurses in using a standardised central venous catheter procedure. The findings suggest that individualised practice and risk desensitisation pose threats to healthcare quality and patient safety, while professional working culture encourages compliance with the procedure.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and complication rates of durable tunneled femoral central venous catheters (TF-CVCs) in high-risk, young, pediatric cardiac intensive-care unit (PCICU) population. The results showed that US-guided TF-CVC insertion by intensivists at the bedside is a technically feasible and safe option for central venous access in critically ill infants and neonates in the PCICU, with no immediate procedure-related complications.

Summary: Perioperative anaphylactic reactions caused by CVCs/PACs containing chlorhexidine, silver sulfadiazine, or latex were rare in this study, but the potential for significant complications exists for patients with pre-existing allergies to these substances. Providers should be aware of the potential hidden exposures.

Summary: In the care bundle for central venous catheters, 2% chlorhexidine gluconate-alcohol (CHG) is superior to 10% povidone-iodine-alcohol (PVI) in inhibiting skin flora growth at insertion sites and potentially reducing the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs).

Summary: This study evaluated the blood compatibility of six commonly used CVCs and found that all tested catheters had an impact on blood cells, contact coagulation, the complement system, or inflammatory markers, although the impact varied. The polyurethane CVC coated with chlorohexidine and silver sulfadiazine had the most unfavorable blood compatibility profile, while the silicone dialysis catheter showed the greatest variation in blood compatibility.

Summary: This study compared the success rate and complications of ultrasound-guided central venous catheter (CVC) insertion with anatomic-based CVC insertion in pediatric patients. The data showed a higher overall success rate and first attempt success rate in the ultrasound-guided group, but the difference was not statistically significant.

Summary: By utilizing peripheral intravenous lines to administer low-dose and lower-concentration norepinephrine, the need for central venous catheters in the intensive care unit can be reduced, with fewer adverse events and no serious events requiring treatment.

Summary: This study evaluated the diagnostic performance of metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) and culture in detecting pathogens in patients with suspected pulmonary infection. The results showed that mNGS had a significantly higher positive detection rate than culture, indicating its value as a tool for identifying pathogens, especially in ICU patients who are more prone to mixed infections.

Summary: The study described patient and hospital characteristics associated with Arterial Catheter (AC) or Central Venous Catheter (CVC) use in pediatric intensive care units. Patient illness severity and primary diagnosis were found to impact catheter placement, as well as the specific ICU where the patient was admitted. Further research is needed to explore unexplained variation in AC and CVC use.

Summary: The study aimed to pilot test the use of polyhexamethylene biguanide-impregnated discs compared to standard dressings for preventing central venous catheter infection in critically ill patients. The results showed that using the polyhexamethylene biguanide-impregnated discs for dressings is a feasible method for preventing central venous catheter infection, but the eligibility criteria need to be reassessed.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of daily whole-body bathing using disposable washcloth wipes/caps impregnated with the antiseptic DDAC. The results showed a reduced incidence of central-venous-line-associated infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria in ICU patients undergoing DDAC bathing. There was also a trend towards reduction in catheter-related bloodstream infections and bloodstream infections. DDAC may be a promising agent for whole-body bathing of ICU patients.
