AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how well two university hospitals followed French guidelines to prevent infections related to central venous catheters (CVCs).
- An observational audit was carried out in 7 wards using a digital tool to gather data on compliance.
- Results indicated that while hand hygiene practices were generally good (90% compliance), there were notable gaps in glove use and rinsing practices; further investigation is needed to understand the barriers to following these evidence-based recommendations.
Article Abstract
Objective: To assess the compliance with French guidelines for the prevention of central venous catheter (CVC)-related infections in two university hospitals.
Methods: An observational audit was conducted in 7 wards using a digital tool.
Results: The prerequisite of hand hygiene (HH) were respected by 90% of health-care worker; 86% performed HH prior to equipment preparation and 59% repeated it prior to infusion. Wearing gloves when necessary and rinsing were respected in 46.7% and 75.6% of the observations.
Conclusion: Findings showed an acceptable level of adherence to recommended practices for CVC management. However, barriers of unrespect evidence-based recommendations need to be investigated in depth.

Background: Pollution of aquatic environments with heavy metals causes severe adverse effects on fish, invertebrates, and human. The importance of this study lies in the fact that long-term ingestion of heavy metal-contaminated fish can result in the accumulation of harmful metals in numerous organs and pose a major risk to human health.
Aim: The current study was designed to investigate the concentrations of toxic arsenic (As), lead (Pb), and mercury (Hg) in the liver, gills, and muscles of highly consumed aqua cultured common carp ( L.

Background: The optimal length of thromboprophylaxis after total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA) is unknown. Fast-track protocols have improved patient care and led to shorter immobilization and length of stay (LOS) after THA and TKA, thereby diminishing venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk. Here, we investigated risk stratification-based thromboprophylaxis after fast-track THA and TKA.

Background: Totally implantable venous access devices (TIVADs) are widely used in oncology patients to facilitate central venous access. Although they offer benefits, TIVADs can be associated with complications.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included all oncology patients 18 years or older who underwent TIVAD implantation between September 2015 and October 2019.

Background/aim: To investigate the possible morbidities associated with the implantation of a totally implantable venous access device (TIVAD) in breast cancer (BC) patients.
Materials And Methods: Clinical data and developed complications in 546 BC patients with TIVAD between 2017 and 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Among these, 524 (96%) patients who underwent TIVAD implantation via the right subclavian vein (SCV) route were examined separately.
