The Efficiency of the Central Venous Catheter Care Protocol

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a central venous catheter (CVC) care protocol, which was created using current guidelines, research results, and expert opinions, on developing CVC-related bloodstream infection in patients with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) until discharge.

Clinical Trial Description

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is one of the important treatment approaches that prolongs survival in patients with hematological malignancies, immunodeficiency and some solid tumors. Despite advances in the treatment process, reasons such as recurrence of the underlying disease, organ toxicities and infectious complications adversely affect treatment success. Reasons such as high-dose chemotherapy, frequent blood sampling, stem cell reinfusion, and total parenteral nutrition applied to HSCT patients increase the need for central venous catheter insertion. Although these tools are often necessary and useful in the bone marrow transplantation process, they also bring mechanical, embolic, and infectious complications. Central venous catheters (CVC) are one of the main applications of modern clinical treatment. Reasons such as high-dose chemotherapy, frequent blood sampling, stem cell reinfusion, and total parenteral nutrition applied to HSCT patients increase the need for central venous catheter insertion. Although these tools are often necessary and valuable in the bone marrow transplantation process, they also bring mechanical, embolic, and infectious complications. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a central venous catheter (CVC) care protocol, created using current guidelines, research results, and expert opinions, on developing CVC-related bloodstream infection in patients with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) until discharge. This research is a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental clinical study. It is conducted with 60 patients between January 2022 and December 2023. The data is collected with Patient Information Form and Daily Patient Evaluation Chart. No application will be made to 30 patients in the control group, and catheter care will be provided to the patients of the intervention group in line with the CVC Care Protocol created by the researchers. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
