Filter by:Diphenhydramine has H1-antihistamine action, it also possesses anti-muscarinic properties. Thus, diphenhydramine might be able to reduce the problem of catheter related bladder discomfort by inhibiting smooth muscle spasm of the urinary bladder via its anti-muscarinic action .
The study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental research to examine the effects of open and closed system peripheral catheters on the success of insertion, duration of stay, and development of complications in children aged 1-18 years in pediatric services. The population of the study consisted of children admitted to the Pediatric Services of the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, and the sample included a total of N=80 children who met the sample criteria and underwent catheter insertion between May 2023 and October 2023. The sample was divided into two groups: closed system peripheral venous catheter group (n=40) and open system peripheral venous catheter group (n=40). The data of the study were collected using a Data Collection Form, Peripheral Venous Catheter Monitoring Form, Visual Infusion Phlebitis Detection Scale, and Pediatric Peripheral Intravenous Infiltration Scale
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of edoxaban in the prevention of tumor catheter-related thrombosis (CVC/PICC) in high-risk patients
Peripheral venous catheters are the most commonly used vascular access devices in healthcare today, including indwelling needles, mini-midline catheters, and medium-length venous catheters. Peripheral venous catheters are required due to clinical needs for prescribed intravenous treatments, medications, surgical procedures, or diagnostics, such as computed tomography scans, etc. One study noted that more than 70% of hospitalized patients had indwelling needles placed. However, post-placement failure of indwelling needles occurs in 30%-50% of patients before completing treatment, unplanned catheter failure occurs in 69% of patients before completing treatment, and there is a 30%-60% risk of various complications. And patients are often subjected to repeat catheter placement, such as improper catheter placement or improperly entered medications. In addition, catheterization is prone to infectious and noninfectious complications, and the risk of phlebitis increases 4.4-fold when catheters are reintroduced.Tan et al. found that the average number of indwelling needle insertions per patient admission was 2.82, and therefore, approximately 44% of adult patients required more than one indwelling needle to complete IV therapy during their hospitalization. According to Helm et al, multiple insertions of indwelling needles per patient lead to unnecessary pain and anxiety, and multiple attempts per insertion further increase the risk of complications. These also lead to prolonged hospitalization, additional healthcare costs, pain, anxiety, and other adverse experiences.
This study is intended to explore the application effect of long peripheral intravenous catheters(LPCs) and midline catheters(MCs) in the perioperative period of obese patients, aiming at providing the scientific basis for the optimal perioperative venous access for the obese patients.
The objective of this study is to assess the relationship between infusion system colonization (ramps or multi-lumen devices) and the occurrence of CVC infection/colonization. This study is a prospective observational research that does not modify usual patient care. Its objective is to evaluate the relationship between infusion tubing colonization and the occurrence of central venous catheter colonization. The only additional intervention is swabbing the taps at each IV line ramp at systematic ramp changes (done every 4 days) and at catheter removal. For the multi-lumen device, swabbing is only performed upon catheter removal at the level of the one-way valves. After catheter removal, a flush (1 mL of 0.9% NaCl) of the midline is performed and cultured to assess for endoluminal colonization. The distal end of the CVC is sent for culture, following the usual practice of the department to monitor catheter colonization and infections. The primary outcome measure is the proportion of colonized infusion systems based on the culture of the CVC. The secondary objectives are to describe factors associated with CVC infections, to determine the incidence of colonization and infections in different locations of central venous catheters, to analyze the bacterial ecology based on the type of infusion system used, and to evaluate the ecological and economic impact of different devices (ramps vs. multi-lumen devices). The secondary outcome measures are as follows: Proportion of colonized infusion systems based on the colonization status of the CVC and the type of infusion system (ramps vs. multi-lumen devices) Proportion of colonized infusion systems based on the infection status of the CVC and the type of infusion system (ramps vs. multi-lumen devices) Duration of antibiotic treatment Weight of compounds used with each infusion system over the duration of CVC placement (ramps vs. multi-lumen devices) Calculation of material costs based on the infusion system used over the duration of CVC placement (ramps vs. multi-lumen devices)
Therefore, in this study, the investigators propose to use a randomized controlled prospective open study on inpatients with difficult blood collection, by comparing the effects of the application of two types of peripheral venous catheters for blood collection via LPC and MC, with a view to improving the success rate of blood collection in difficult peripheral venous blood collection, and providing a theoretical basis for the later application of long peripheral venous catheters and midline catheters; and providing a basis for optimizing the experience of venous blood collection by nurses.
This is a prospective, randomized, multi-center clinical trial for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients referred for creation of a new arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in order to assess the safety and effectiveness of SelfWrap, a bioabsorbable perivascular wrap.
The study was randomized controlled to examine the effect of virtual reality (VR) application on pain, anxiety, and vital signs associated with port catheter needle insertion. This study was conducted as a parallel-group, randomized controlled intervention study. The study was conducted with 84 cancer patients who came to Bursa Uludağ University outpatient chemotherapy unit for treatment between December 2022 and May 2023 and met the inclusion criteria. Patients undergoing port catheterization were randomly assigned to the intervention (n=42) and control (n=42) groups. During the preparation stage of the port catheter injection attempt, the intervention group was given a calming video and music concert using virtual reality glasses. In the control group, no intervention was made except the routine application.
Purpose of this study is to see if a Peripheral Intravenous Catheter PIVC will last longer if inserted by a Registered Nurse (RN) who specializes in inserting PIVCs. Main question it aims to answer: 1. We believe that the use of the ultrasound, an RN who specializes in PIVC placement with the use of ultrasound and the use of best of class medical technology, may improve first stick success with PIVC insertion and the length of time the PIVC stays in place without showing any related complications
