NCT ID: NCT02950246 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Catheter Related Infection

Alcoholic Chlorhexidine Compared to Povidone Iodine to Limit Perineural Catheter Colonisation

CHLOVEPI
Start date: November 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Implementation of perineural catheters may lead to infection by catheter colonization. Catheters may be colonized by the bacteria present on the skin. This is most often commensal organisms as Staphylococcus or gram negative bacilli. In a large study of 1416 peripheral nerve catheters, 28.7% of catheters were cultured positive. This colonization is most often silent because in the same study only 3% of patients had signs of local inflammation and one psoas abscess was observed (0.07%). The germs are most often coagulase negative staphylococci (61%) and gram negative bacillus (21.6%).

NCT ID: NCT01947751 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Catheter Related Infection

Catheter Early Withdrawal or Maintenance in Sepsis or Septic Shock

Start date: March 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Central venous catheter(CVC)-related infection is an inherent complication of this device that should be treated promptly. However, there are doubts about the need for the immediate withdrawal of CVC while there is still no confirmation of such infection. The aim of this study is to compare the resolution of CVC-related infection, testing two approaches: catheter´s early exchange, when the possibility of related sepsis is considered, versus the maintenance of the CVC and early antibiotic therapy until the infection is confirmed.
