Frequence of Dressing Change and Bacterial Colonization in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

Bacterial Infections Clinical Trial

Official title: Central Venous Catheter Dressing Change and Bacterial Colonization in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is non-inferiority trial design.The relationship between whether dressing change 24hrs after CVC (central venous catheter) catheterization and bacterial colonization of the skin.

Clinical Trial Description

Central venous catheter (CVC) was punctured directly through jugular vein, subclavian vein and femoral vein, and its tip is located in superior vena cava or inferior vena cava. CVC is widely used in ICU because of its kinds of advantages. However, CVC, as an invasive puncture method, may bring more complications. The incidence of central line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) was 1.33-31.6/1000 catheterization day , and the death rate due to CVC associated bloodstream infection is 3-5% . Therefore, various organizations have formulated guidelines for the prevention of CLABSI and best evidence summary . From October 2019 to April 2020, taking the children's hospital of Fudan University as the leading unit, PICU of children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University, Anhui children's Hospital, Xiamen children's Hospital, Shenzhen Children's Hospital and Guangzhou Women's and Children's medical center as the cooperation units, carried out children's central venous catheterization Multi center research on best practices of management and maintenance. It was found that changing dressings 24 hours after catheterization may increase the incidence of MARSI, and repeatedly exposing dressings may also increase the incidence of CLABSI. The research team returned to the original evidence and consulted the guidelines. It was found that: under the premise of achieving the maximum aseptic catheterization, the guidelines issued by various institutions did not mention that the application should be replaced 24 hours after catheterization; however, the evidence was mentioned in the evidence summary, but there was no support from the relevant original literature. Therefore, it is worth discussing whether children need to change dressings 24 hours after catheterization. This study is non-inferiority trial design. ;
