Filter by:All participants in this clinical trial will be undergoing surgery and will have a central venous catheter (also known as a central line) placed in the large vein in the neck as part of their routine care. The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare different ways of dressing central lines. In current standard care, central lines are stitched in place and covered with a protective transparent dressing. This standard care will be compared with the addition of a haemostatic powder beneath the transparent dressing. This powder product aids clotting at the level of the skin, meaning that it prevents or reduces bleeding while helping to maintain a dry and protected environment. The main questions this clinical trial aims to answer are: - Will the addition of a haemostatic powder increase the durability of central line dressings? - What proportion of dressings required an unplanned change? - The reason(s) for any unplanned change - The incidence of bleeding around central line insertion sites - Were any skin problems observed once the dressings were removed? Once the dressings are applied, all central lines sites will be monitored as part of the participant's routine care. Participation in the clinical trial lasts as long as the first central line dressing remains in place. Central line dressings currently and routinely remain in place for up to, but not more than seven days. After this period, there will be no need for any research-related observations. Routine care will continue and will not be affected by the research. Participants will not be asked to make any extra visits over and above those needed for routine care.
Central venous (CVC) is essential in modern healthcare but unfortunately associated with complications, including thrombosis. In a recently published study, it was showed that 12 out of 12 deceased patients had subclinical CVK-related thrombosis (Rockholt et al.). To shed light on this problem, the current studies were designed. In sub-study 1, deceased patients with CVC who are referred for clinical autopsy are included. Before the autopsy, the deceased will be examined with a photon-counting computed tomography (CT) scan and the results will be compared. In sub-study 2, living patients with CVC who are referred for various CT scans without contrast, are included. After informed consent, the patient will be examined with the photon-counting CT, whose reliability has been validated in Part 1 and the incidence of subclinical CVC-related thrombosis will be reported.
The purpose of this study is to assess user satisfaction and the frequency of common central venous catheter insertion complications when using a novel cannulation knife.
29.3% of bacteremias in intensive care units (ICU) are linked to vascular devices, with a significant proportion related to central venous catheters, and an influence on both morbility and mortality. It is now accepted that microbiological biofilm plays a key role on both bacterial and fungal development on inner surface of vascular devices but there is yet a lack of clinical relevant data documenting a causal relation between biofilm formation and bacteremias. We assume that a more precise characterization of central venous catheter-deposited biofilm could help us better understand invasive medical device-related healthcare infections in critically ill patients.
The goal of this type of study is to construct the continuous quality promotion project "ICU-NO CRBSI(Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infection , CRBSI)" based on improvement science, and to verify its effect in the prevention of central venous catheter-related bloodstream infection and continuous quality improvement in ICU ( Intensive Care Unit , ICU) through multi-center implementation and two rounds of improvement. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: What is the incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infection in the ICU of participating units? How compliant are health care providers in the ICU with evidence-based sensory control practices for the prevention of catheter-associated bloodstream infection? Participants will be provided with the hospital's routine CVC (Central Venous Catheter ,CVC) care practices and CVC quality improvement measures based on evidence-based guidelines What technical and cultural support is needed to implement quality and safety improvement measures?
Catheter-related bloodstream infections are associated with increased mortality, morbidity, and length of hospital stay. The incidence has decreased significantly with the strict implementation of preventive bundle cares and checklists in intensive care units. Bathing with solutions containing chlorhexidine has been included in preventive strategies in recent years. Although some studies have shown that chlorhexidine bathing reduces the frequency of hospital-associated infections, there are important differences in management of practice and adherence to practice in different facilities. The majority of the studies conducted include adult patients. According to the CDC guidelines, chlorhexidine bathing is recommended for children over 2 months of age to prevent catheter-related bloodstream infection. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of daily bathing with 2% chlorhexidine gluconate solution in preventing catheter-related bloodstream infections in pediatric patients with temporary central venous catheters.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound- guided IJV and supraclavicular SCV cannulation in infants weighing less than 5 kg.
The goal of this methodological, retrospective and prospective study is to; it is a tool to develop a risk estimator tool to detect risk gaps in individuals using artificial intelligence technology that is dangerous for those with CVC in adult intensive care patients, to test risk level estimation frameworks and to evaluate outcomes in the clinic. In our study, it is also our aim to protect, to present the security measures to prevent the risk of CVC with an artificial intelligence model, in an evidence-based way. The main question[s]it aims to answer are: - Can the risk of CVC-related infection be determined in adult intensive care patients using artificial intelligence? - To what degree of accuracy can the risk of CVC-associated infection be determined in adult intensive care patients using artificial intelligence? - What are the nursing practices that can reduce the risk of CVC-related infections? Methodology to develop an artificial intelligence-based CVC-associated infection risk level determination algorithm, retrospective using data from Electronic Health Records (EHR) patient data and manual patient files between January 2018 and December 2022 to create the algorithm and test the model accuracy, and the development stages of the model After the completion of the model, up-to-date data were collected for the use of the model and it was planned to be done prospectively.
The number of elderly hemodialysis patients is growing. Vascular access complications are a major determinant of the quality of life and health care costs for these vulnerable patients. The three different types of vascular access, i.e. autologous arteriovenous fistulas, arteriovenous grafts, and central venous catheters, have never been compared in randomized controlled trials. This project will deliver the much-needed evidence to determine the optimal strategy for vascular access creation in elderly hemodialysis patients in order to deliver better health care at lower costs.
For central venous catheters (CVC) to function properly, optimal tip location is of utmost importance. One technique to verify CVC position is the ECG method. Nowadays, the ECG method is applied using the maximum P-wave amplitude (P-max). The hypothesis is that a method believed to be precise in assessing CVC position can provide the same results for CVC tip positions regardless of their respective insertion sites. Can the ECG method (at P-max) provide the same results for the position of CVC tips regardless of their insertion site?
