Filter by:1. to determine the feasibility of utilizing a wearable device 2. to prospectively measure and evaluate parent and nurse satisfaction with the protective wearable device. This is a sequential, convergent mixed methods study design in which qualitative interview data will be collected first followed by quantitative data. Scheme and Outcomes: Identify eligible patients--Informed Consent--Provide education and two protective wearable device--Demographic data (electronic health record)--Interview parent on device--Every month complete 30-day satisfaction survey for a total of three data collection period-Discharge from study. Nurse data collection scheme: Study participants hospitalized at time of enrollment in study or anytime during the study period. Nurse of patients using device will complete satisfaction survey. Note: Vest is a Class I Exempt FDA-registered device.
Securing the intravenous line is one of the fundamental interventions in paediatric anaesthesia and intensive care. Central venous catheters (CVC) are indicated for long-term stay in intensive care unit (ICU), in case of circulatory instability and the need for vasopressor therapy, for hypertonic solutions administration and parenteral nutrition. The dominant method of CVC insertions is the Seldingers´ method (over the wire) and ultrasound real-time navigation in recommended. Ultrasound-guided (USG) CVC insertion however requires experience personnel and relevant training.This could be the main reason, that CVC the real-time ultrasound navigation is still not adequately implemented into the clinical practice.
The goal of this study is to determine whether Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter or Centrally Inserted Venous Catheters have lower complication rates in the Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit. After admission to the Neuroscience ICU and if they require central access, patients will be randomized to receive a PICC or CVC and complications (such as pneumothorax, deep venous thrombosis, infection, etc.) will be tracked and compared between the two interventions.
