DOI: 10.1016/j.ajic.2019.11.030
Abstract: BACKGROUND Needleless connectors (NCs) were introduced to reduce health care work needlestick injuries (NSIs). If not decontaminated prior to use, NCs can be a portal for patient blood stream infections. The optimal disinfectant, and its… read more here.

Self-inflicted and iatrogenic peripheral intravenous cannula fracture: A case report
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Annals of Medicine and Surgery"
DOI: 10.1016/j.amsu.2018.08.004
Abstract: Introduction We present a case of broken peripheral intravenous catheter/cannula (PIVC), a well-known, underreported complication of PIVC placement. The fractured cannula could have resulted in intravascular foreign body retention, which is usually iatrogenic. Presentation of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.clinbiomech.2020.105103
Abstract: BACKGROUND The underlying mechanism of pulsatile flushing technique has not been fully elucidated, and the partial understanding of the mechanism has been confined to hydrodynamic simulation, ignoring the dynamic interaction among the catheter, blood vessel,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.colegn.2019.07.010
Abstract: Abstract Background Sampling blood from a peripheral intravenous cannula offers an alternative to venepuncture. This practice can reduce frequency of venepuncture and patient discomfort. Opponents argue the practice increases the chance of haemolysis, risk of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pedn.2018.02.009
Abstract: Purpose: Although pediatric patients report venipuncture as their most feared experience during hospitalization, blood sampling from peripheral intravenous accesses (PIVs) is not standard of care. Blood sampling from PIVs has long been considered by healthcare… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-018-21617-1
Abstract: Peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) are the most commonly used invasive medical device, yet up to 50% fail. Many pathways to failure are mechanistic and related to fluid mechanics, thus can be investigated using computational fluid… read more here.
