In long-term indwelling central venous catheters, including PICC catheters, catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) is one of the significant complications. This article introduces a systematic review and meta-analysis examining the efficacy and safety of anticoagulation therapy aimed at preventing CRT in adult cancer patients....

In the management of hemodynamics in critically ill patients, the arterial pressure line (peripheral arterial catheter) is routinely used for continuous blood pressure measurement and frequent blood sampling. Central venous catheters (CVCs) are associated with significant complications of catheter-related bloodstream infections...

In the management of critically ill patients, I imagine we experience cases where a central venous catheter is simultaneously placed in two places for purposes such as dialysis and parenteral nutrition (TPN). However, the specific numbers of how multiple insertions actually increase the risk of central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections (CLABSI) are unclear...

The Japanese version of the "Guideline for the Prevention of Catheter-Associated Bloodstream Infections (CABSI) in Adults," published by the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) in July 2025, has been released in the APIC resource library. This applies not only to central venous catheters, but to all vascular access devices (VADs), including peripheral ones...

J-IVCARES has released the official Japanese version of Aseptic Non-Touch Technique (ANTT®) and its procedural manual. This marks the first time the Japanese version of ANTT® has been published in Japan. What is ANTT®? ANTT® is a technique developed by the Association for Safe Asepti...

When considering the selection and management of vascular access devices (VADs), "quantifiable indicators" such as complication rates, costs, and dwell times from a healthcare professional's perspective are likely to lead to important evidence. However, the peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion itself, for patients and their families, is...

In your facility, how often do peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) cause problems? Isn't it a daily occurrence in the field to experience things like, "I just inserted it, and it's already clogged," "It's swollen again," or "How many have I put in today...?" What we'll introduce this time is...

In our institution's intensive care unit, the internal jugular vein remains the first choice for central venous catheter insertion. In cases requiring catheter replacement due to complications, the contralateral internal jugular vein and the femoral vein are used. The subclavian vein is less favored due to the incidence and severity of mechanical complications...
