Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to describe the incidence of catheter-related and non-catheter-related thrombosis in a population of adults in ICU and to assess its correlation with alteration of coagulation parameters.

Description:

Central venous catheter (CVC) is now indispensable in the monitoring and care of patients in intensive care (ICU). Unfortunately, one of the complications of its positioning is catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) and its consequences. Despite the widespread use of CVC and the extensive literature describing its complications, areas of uncertainty regarding the onset, treatment and prevention of CRT persist, especially with regard to asymptomatic thrombosis.

This study aims to describe the incidence of catheter-related and non-catheter-related thrombosis in a population of adults in ICU and to assess its correlation with alteration of coagulation parameters.

The main objective of this study is to assess the proportion of patients developing CRT (proportion) and the incidence of CRT (rate expressed in catheter events/days) in patients in ICU.
