Filter by: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
Clinical evaluation of the PowerGlide™ Pro Midline Catheter in patients with vascular diseases
In our study, investigators will investigate the effectiveness and complications of two catheter lock solutions one of which is the standard heparin routinely used in comparison to Sodium bicarbonate. Both solutions were used but not compared head to head. Investigators aim to compare both solutions in terms of catheter lumen patency and their effect on catheter-related infections.
Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are central catheters that are placed via peripheral vein under ultrasound guidance and may be used for patients with difficult venous access for long-term central or peripheral infusion therapies as well as central venous pressure monitoring in a critical care setting. Although PICCs provide a great option for some patients, these catheters have known complications including catheter-related bloodstream infection, catheter-related venous thrombosis or clotting, malfunction, and high cost. Midline catheters represent a potentially attractive alternative to PICCs for peripheral infusions. As midlines have increased in popularity and new midlines have been introduced into the market, it is necessary to better understand complication profiles of various midline catheters, as it is likely that all catheters are not created equal. Specifically, the incidence of symptomatic catheter-related thrombosis is of interest. Some midline catheters are coated to provide protection against catheter-related venous thrombosis and/or catheter-related bloodstream infection. The theoretical benefit(s) of these catheters need further validation in human subjects.
Catheter colonization, catheter-associated infection and catheter-associated bacteremia are a major challenge for resuscitation unit. This study wishes to explore the impact of the central venous catheter colonization on the ARDS patient with and without prone position.
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) complications following catheter use in surgical patients remains high. Using an aseptic protocol has been shown to drastically reduce UTI incidence by 50%. Reducing UTIs will prevent extended hospital stays, readmission, and antibiotic use associated with this complication and improve cost-effectiveness of care. The investigators hypothesize that they can reduce the incidence of UTIs after catheter placement with the implementation of a Quality Improvement (QI) protocol to prevent excess exposure to the environment exposure of the catheter before, during and after insertion.
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of alcoholic skin disin-fection before PNC (perineural catheter)-removal on the detection of bacteria on the subcutaneous part of the PNC or on the tip. Furthermore, the correlation of bacterial colonization with PNC-associated local inflammation or infection was evaluated.
