Filter by:The investigators propose a prospective diagnostic validity study in which the correct location of the central venous catheter will be verified by ultrasound and then verified by radiography in the same patient, without modifying the usual clinical practice criteria.
To assess the ability of the Silq ClearTract™ 100% Silicone 2-Way Foley Catheter to reduce catheter associated complications in subjects that require a long-term indwelling Foley catheter when compared to other commercially available Foley catheters.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to determine if removal of transurethral urinary catheters by patients at home is as safe as catheter removal in the office following urogynecologic surgery. Participants will be randomized to either standard catheter removal in the office or catheter self-removal at home.
This is a comparative, randomized, controlled pilot study. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, comfort, and patient experience in people with long-term bladder catheterization with T-Control® versus patients with a conventional Foley-type catheter.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a chlorhexidine impregnated dressing for peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) to the standard dressing currently used in general medical and surgical inpatient wards. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Study Feasibility - Occurrence of infectious complications related to the PIVC Participants will be randomly allocated to receive either of the below dressings to cover and secure their PIVC: - The standard dressing used at their hospital, or - The intervention dressing which has Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) on it Researchers will compare standard and CHG dressings to see if the presence of CHG improves the occurrence of infectious complications related to the PIVC.
Rationale: Healthcare professionals regularly perform transurethral catheterization. They may have not sufficient knowledge, experience, and self-confidence about urethral catheterization. This can cause an increased risk of urethral catheterization-related injury and morbidity. With an appropriate training program, we can raise the knowledge and self-confidence of healthcare professionals in performing transurethral catheterization. Primary Objective: To compare knowledge and self-confidence amongst healthcare workers in performing urethral catheterization before and after the proposed urethral catheterization training program. Secondary Objective: To compare the traumatic catheterization rates before and after the proposed urethral catheterization training program. Study design: This study is a prospective multi-center trial using a questionnaire for assessing the healthcare professionals about urethral catheterization knowledge and self-confidence before and after a urethral catheterization training program, where their evaluation is scheduled 6 months after the training. Study population: The study population comprises medical health workers (nurses, paramedics and doctors) from 5 different Medipol Hospitals working at surgical and non-surgical departments. Intervention: An in-person urethral catheterization training program that utilizes training videos (demonstrating procedures, providing examples of ordinary and difficult cases, utilizing animation techniques as well) Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary endpoint is the change in self-reported self-confidence and knowledge in urethral catheterization following the training. The secondary endpoint is the change in complicated/traumatic urethral catheterization following the training. A complicated/traumatic catheterization is defined as a urethral catheterization requiring the intervention of a urologist.
The purpose of this study is to compare the appearance of complications after the insertion of peripheral venous catheters with two different techniques (traditional and ultrasound-guided).
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.
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.
