Improving chemotherapy delivery starts with the patient experience.

A recent webinar hosted by an interventional radiologist in Paris explored how advances in port placement techniques are improving efficiency, aesthetics and patient comfort across oncology care.

Key takeaways included:
✅ Ultrasound-guided port placement has become the foundation of modern practice
✅ Personalised access route selection helps optimise both clinical and patient outcomes
✅ PICC-Ports continue to gain traction as a minimally invasive alternative for suitable patients
✅ Subclavian and axillary approaches can improve procedural efficiency while minimising visible scarring
✅ Multidisciplinary collaboration remains essential for long-term success

As vascular access practices evolve, clinicians are increasingly focused on delivering not only safe and reliable treatment, but also a better patient experience throughout the cancer journey.

Most discussions around haemodynamic monitoring focus on high-risk surgery. However, growing evidence suggests that intraoperative hypotension may affect outcomes across a much broader patient population.
With continuous non-invasive monitoring technologies becoming more accessible, is it time to rethink who benefits from enhanced haemodynamic assessment?
Our latest Campus Vygon article explores the evidence, current practice variations, and the questions still to be answered.

Accurate tip placement is one of the most important factors in successful umbilical catheterisation, helping to support effective treatment while reducing the risk of complications.
In our latest clinical article, we explore the principles of umbilical venous and arterial catheter placement, from preparation and insertion considerations through to tip localisation, securement and ongoing monitoring.

Whether you're placing lines, confirming position, supervising trainees, or managing ongoing vascular access, this article provides a practical review of key principles that support safe neonatal care.

Are we all managing Metabolic Bone Disease of Prematurity the same way?

Metabolic Bone Disease of Prematurity continues to present challenges for neonatal teams, particularly around:

• Which babies should be screened
• When investigations should be undertaken
• How results should be interpreted
• When treatment is warranted
• The optimal approach to supplementation

At Leeds Vyneodays, Dr Chris Forster will share a practical and pragmatic approach to investigation and management, helping to bring clarity to an area where practice often varies.

If you're involved in neonatal care, this is a session not to miss.

What makes a good needle free access device?

Global experts agree on a few key principles:

✔ Keep designs simple
✔ Make disinfection easy and effective
✔ Reduce reflux risks
✔ Choose evidence-backed solutions
✔ Support consistency in clinical practice

Our latest article explores recommendations from organisations including the CDC, MHRA, INS and SHEA, helping clinicians understand what to look for when selecting a needle free connector.

New clinical evidence highlights both the clinical and economic benefits of SecurAcath® (SASS).

New evidence from a multicentre randomised controlled trial published in JAMA Pediatrics shows that SecurAcath® reduces healthcare costs with every use.

Key findings from the study include:

✅ Saving healthcare providers approximately £18 per patient
✅ Cost savings achieved even with a relatively short catheter dwell time of 25.5 days
✅ Potential annual savings of over £10,000 based on around 520 non-cuffed central venous catheter insertions per year at a participating hospital

These findings add to the growing body of evidence supporting SecurAcath® as a securement solution that can help improve efficiency while reducing healthcare costs.

Port Access and Maintenance: Supporting Safe Long-Term Use

Implantable ports play an important role in supporting patients who need long-term vascular access, but their performance relies on correct use and ongoing care.
From aseptic technique and non-coring needles to routine flushing and maintenance protocols, following best practice can help reduce complications and keep therapy on track.

Alongside traditional chest ports, upper arm implanted ports (PICC-Ports) are becoming increasingly popular, offering a discreet long-term access option that may improve patient comfort and cosmetic outcomes.

Solutions such as Polysite® (MRI conditional and CT compatible) and Seesite® (with a radiopaque marker visible on X-ray) support a variety of clinical pathways and patient needs.
With the right care, implantable ports can provide reliable access while supporting a better patient experience throughout treatment.

Could your arterial line be giving you the wrong blood pressure?
A patient has a MAP of 60 mmHg following a position change. Is this genuine haemodynamic deterioration, or could the arterial transducer simply be in the wrong place?

Correct transducer levelling at the phlebostatic axis is one of the most fundamental aspects of invasive blood pressure monitoring, yet it can be overlooked during routine patient care.

In our latest article, we explore:

🔹 Why the phlebostatic axis is the accepted reference point for invasive pressure monitoring
🔹 How hydrostatic pressure can create falsely high or low blood pressure readings
🔹 Why even small levelling errors may influence fluid and vasopressor management decisions
🔹 Common causes of transducer positioning errors in everyday clinical practice
🔹 Practical steps to maintain measurement accuracy at the bedside

Before acting on an unexpected arterial pressure reading, it may be worth asking:
Could this reading be wrong?

PICC removal is an important part of safe patient care.

Even though it is often seen as a simple procedure, it requires careful technique, good communication and close monitoring to reduce risk.

Our latest article explains how PICCs should be removed safely, what complications to watch for, and how to support patients after the procedure.
