Are we giving enough focus to vascular access maintenance?

While insertion is important, consistent care and maintenance are essential to reducing complications and supporting better patient outcomes.

Our latest article looks at the core principles of good practice, from hand hygiene and aseptic technique to device selection and catheter patency.

By returning to the fundamentals, healthcare teams can improve consistency, reduce risk and support safer care.

Dressing changes are an essential part of caring for vascular access devices, but they don’t come without challenges.

In this video, Mark shares how concerns around catheter movement were affecting his team’s confidence and approach to care:
“Many of our nursing clinicians were avoiding changing the adhesive style devices for fear the catheter would pull out during the dressing change, increasing the potential of infection.”

Watch to hear how discovering SecurAcath helped overcome this challenge and improved confidence in practice.

Medical device classification isn’t just a regulatory exercise.

For vascular access devices, classification reflects risk, invasiveness, and duration of use, shaping everything from clinical evidence requirements to post market surveillance.
From peripheral IV cannulas to implantable ports, understanding how and why devices fall into Class IIa, IIb or III supports safer practice, informed device selection and regulatory compliance.

PICC line dislodgement can interrupt therapy, increase workload, and affect patient experience.

This case study explores how an evidence-based securement approach, combined with structured education and strong team collaboration, helped significantly reduce PICC line dislodgement and CLABSI rates in adult patients.

The results demonstrate the value of looking beyond the dressing, embedding best practice, and supporting teams through change.

Safe feeding starts long before the first oral feed.
Articles 5–7 in the Foundations of Safe Neonatal Enteral Feeding series follow the developmental feeding journey from skin to skin and colostrum, to feed tolerance and cue based oral feeding. Because feeding is nutritional, neurological and emotional.

New 2025 vascular access guidance signals a shift in focus, from introducing new devices to supporting better, more consistent clinical decision making.

Insights from the Association of Anaesthetists and MAGIC ONC highlight vascular access choice as a modifiable risk factor, with patient outcomes closely linked to when and why a device is selected, not just what is used.

With growing treatment complexity, the emphasis is on:
• Aligning access decisions with the patient journey.
• Reducing unwarranted variation in practice
• Simplifying maintenance to minimise avoidable harm

Together, the guidance supports a more strategic, patient centered approach to vascular access, helping teams improve safety and consistency without increasing workload.

In neonatal care, 0.1 mL is never “small”. Precision is not optional when margins are measured in fractions of a millilitre.
💬 How is dose accuracy currently assessed or safeguarded in your unit, particularly for micro volume feeds and enteral medications?

Article 4 in the Foundations of Safe Neonatal Enteral Feeding series focuses on dose accuracy and why micro errors in feeds and medications can have macro effects.

Precision Feeding and Medication Delivery in the Smallest and Sickest Patients In neonatal care, the difference between 0.1 mL and 0.2 mL is not trivial, it can be life‑changing.Neonates, especially extremely low‑birth‑weight infants (ELBW), receive both nutrition and medications in extraordin...
