Defaulting the order for peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) placement to single lumen increased proportion of single-lumen insertions over total insertions from 42/126 (33%) to 57/104 (51)%. Single-lumen PICCs had a nonsignificant lower rate of central line-associated bloodstream infection compared to double-lumen PICCs.

Purpose: We present a case of transmuscular migration of a solid encircling silicone band through all four rectus muscles.

Observations: A 33-year-old male with high myopia presented with a progressively worsening subclinical peripheral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in his left eye. An encircling silicone band (#240) was placed anterior to the equator, and 5-0 polyester sutures (Ethicon, Inc.

Integrating deep learning in public health: a novel approach to PICC-RVT risk assessment.

Background: Machine learning is pivotal for predicting Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter-related venous thrombosis (PICC-RVT) risk, facilitating early diagnosis and proactive treatment. Existing models often assess PICC-RVT risk as static and discrete outcomes, which may limit their practical application.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of seven diverse machine learning algorithms, including three deep learning and four traditional machine learning models, that incorporate time-series data to assess PICC-RVT risk.

Objective: Peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) failure occurs in approximately 50% of insertions. Unexpected PIVC failure leads to treatment delays, longer hospitalizations, and increased risk of patient harm. In current practice there is no method to predict if PIVC failure will occur until it is too late and a grossly obvious complication has occurred.
