Filter by:Cancer is a disease that, despite having a higher cure rate, is currently on the rise, with an increase in the number of diagnoses. For the treatment of these patients a venous access is required, which in the first treatments is of peripheral insertion. These peripheral venous catheter in combination with the highly aggressive treatments for the veins are the cause of the appearance of chemical phlebitis. Phlebitis is an inflammation caused by a combination of factors, whether chemical, perfusion of irritating medication; mechanical, due to the puncture site, type and fixation of the catheter and infectious, caused by the colonization of pathogenic agents whose origin is the skin and that migrate inward. Phlebitis involves an injury to the wall of the vein, and consequently, the patient will also be at risk of thrombus formation, which in turn leads to thrombophlebitis, deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. The existence of phlebitis involves intense and constant pain, with increased sensitivity and a sensation of heat and swelling. With the use of topical sesame oil, and thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, the investigators intend to study whether it is effective in preventing the appearance of phlebitis.
This is a prospective, parallel, non-blinded, two-arm randomized controlled trial of intravenous catheter failure evaluating the impact of a built-in guide wire. The objective of this study is to demonstrate that the control ultralong intravenous catheter (IV) without the guide wire is non-inferior to the experimental catheter with the guide wire. After obtaining consent, eligible patients will be randomly allocated to control Arm 1 (ultralong intravenous catheter) or experimental Arm 2 (ultralong intravenous catheter with guide wire) in a ratio of 1:1 via a computer-generated randomization schedule. The participants will be followed to collect data until the catheter is removed.
Phlebitis is an inflammatory reaction of the venous system and surrounding tissues that may be associated with mechanical, chemical or infectious microorganisms; It is the most common complication of intravenous injection. Symptoms of phlebitis; local pain, swelling, warmth, erythema, tenderness; prominent redness and palpable firmness and purulent discharge along the vascular access. Phlebitis is the most important peripheral intravenous catheter-related complication and is seen in 0.1%- 63.3% of patients with peripheral intravenous catheters. Intravenous amiodarone is an important treatment for arrhythmias. However, peripheral infusion causes direct irritation of the vessel walls. Intravenous amiodarone is one of the most widely used antiarrhythmics for the treatment of atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response. However, peripheral infusion of amiodarone usually causes pain during the infusion followed by phlebitis. Peripheral intravenous infusion of amiodarone associated with phlebitis is common in clinical practice, with an incidence of 5% to 65%. Herbal treatment is a popular method in recent years In recent studies to prevent phlebitis, it has been determined that topical application of sesame oil and black cumin oil is effective in preventing phlebitis. Sesame oil has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties and contains several lignans such as sesamin and sesaminol that inhibit inflammation, including interleukin 8 and endothelin 1. The therapeutic properties of black seed oil are due to the presence of phenolic compounds, especially thymoquinone. The anti-inflammatory mechanism of action of black seed oil occurs by inhibiting cyclo-oxygenase and 5-lipoxygenase pathways and preventing the production of thromboxane B2 and leukotriene B4. There is no study in the literature comparing the effects of sesame oil and black cumin oil to prevent phlebitis.
The study will evaluate a new type of cyanoacrylate tissue glue Secure PortIV on the insertion site of the PICC (Peripherally inserted central catheter) or Midline catheters. Fixation of the catheter with the tissue glue should prevent incidents of mechanical and infective phlebitis as well as external migrations of the catheters.
Intermittent or continuous proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy are recommended for high-risk bleeding ulcers according to the French Society of Gastroenterology. The prevalence of incidence of vein infusion phlebitis after PPI intravenous infusion is high in geriatric acute ward (about 10% of severe vein infusion phlebitis). The primary of objective of the study is to determinate the prevalence of vein infusion phlebitis after PPI intravenous infusion in aging people. The secondary of objective of the study if to determinate the factors of risk of vein infusion phlebitis.
