Filter by:The investigators aimed to compare the effects of tramadol and dexmedetomidine, which are commonly used in anesthesia, on preventing catheter-related bladder discomfort.
Central venous catheters are routinely used, however, with a complication rate exceeding 15%. Therefore, other types of venous catheters have been introduced such as a midline catheter. The purpose of the present study is to assess the efficacy and the safety of midline catheters compared to the standard care being a central catheter also inserted peripherally. Patients with indication for intravenous fluids or medicines for 5 to 28 days will be included in the study.
The main objective of this proposed study is to examine if oblique projection (20- degrees right anterior oblique (RAO) for right femoral artery access or 20-degree left anterior oblique (LAO) for left femoral artery access) is superior to anterior projection (AP) for femoral artery access in zone 2-4 and thereby resulting in lower risk of access related complications.
Catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) has been found as the major complication of the established central venous catheter in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Its reported incidence varies from 5 to 66 %. Although most cases are asymptomatic, in up to 10 - 15 % of the patients pulmonary embolism occurs. In addition, CRT is associated with the risk of infection, post-thrombotic syndrome and with general disruption of the management of the underlying disease. The most accessible diagnostic method for CRT recognition is duplex ultrasonography. However, screening of CRT by duplex ultrasonography is not common approach in ICUs. Normally, duplex ultrasonography is performed by physicians. In this setting, implementation of the screening in ICU would be time consuming and practically unrealizable. Delegating this competence to ICU nurses can increase availability of this screening method. Therefore, as a first step, investigators decided to perform a validation clinical study to verify the diagnostic accuracy of duplex ultrasonography of the venous system for CRT screening performed by a general nurse.
