Filter by:In this prospective cross-sectional study, patients with ESRD unfit for AVF/AVG were scheduled for a right or left trans-jugular tunneled catheter placement. All patients were asked about their catheters' function one year after its implantation and the presumed affecting factors on catheters' patency were evaluated.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the difference between LPC (mini-midline) and PIVC (peripheral venous catheter) on the need of further venipuncture for blood withdrawal or placement of a new vascular access. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Whether the number of patients with LPC and PIVC differ in terms of repeated venipunctures; - Whether the number of patients with LPC and PIVC differ in terms of adverse events associated with the use of such vascular catheters. Researchers will compare the proportion of patients with repeated venipunctures between LPC and PIVC arms.
This research seeks to compare two types of vascular access (catheters that are inserted into the vein) for patient treatment during hospitalization. This research will evaluate how long each catheter lasts before presenting problems that may lead to its removal from the vein (the most common are swelling on the site of the catheter, clogging of the catheter, infections, or other less common problems. Each patient will be randomly selected to receive either catheter. In this study, we will also estimate how much each patient will spend if any of the problems mentioned occur.
This study is a stepped wedge cluster randomized trial design. The object is to evaluate the influence on patient outcomes, medical staff's evidence-based practice behavior and hospital context after implementation of the selection scheme of venous access devices comes from" Evidence-based guidelines for clinical practice of intravenous infusion therapy in children". This study sought to compare the appropriateness of peripheral venous access device selection, to compare the incidence of infiltration and extravasation and the cost of venous infusion consumables before and after the implementation of the scheme.
In intensive care units (ICU), critically ill patients require various venous access devices for fluid resuscitation, drug therapy, or renal replacement therapy (RRT). These include peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVC), specialized venous ports like central venous catheters (CVCs), and hemodialysis ports. The investigators plan to do this pre- and post-intervention study to know the effect of intensive training and education of HCW (doctors and nurses) on the condition of venous access devices in critically ill patients.
This clinical trial will compare survival of peripheral intravenous (IV) catheters for patients with a standard IV site dressing alone to patients with standard IV dressing plus Adhezion Biomedical SecurePortIV Catheter Securement Adhesive. Emergency room patients who already have IVs may be considered for inclusion. Eligible patients will be approached and, if they are interested in participating, their informed consent will be obtained. Participation will continue for up to 7 days. During this time, the patient will experience: - Assessment of their currently placed peripheral IV catheter, to assess if it is functioning - Assignment to one of two study groups (standard IV dressing or standard IV dressing plus Adhezion Biomedical SecurePortIV Catheter Securement Adhesive). This is called randomization and group assignment is by chance, like the flip of a coin - Daily assessment of the IV catheter and site for complications (such as infection or phlebitis), removal, and medications being administered.
An education model with a homemade jugular venous catheterization model will be compared to the conventional training model for ultrasound-guided central jugular line catheterization. The study will include 60 residents to be divided into two groups with stratified random sampling. Training session for the control group (Group 2) will include a lecture about the subject, a demo video presentation, and practice of visualization of right jugular vein on a real human subject. Training session for the model group (Group 1) will include the same as GControl with the addition of the puncture practice on the homemade jugular venous catheterization model(HJVCM) with ultrasound guidance. Both groups will be tested with another HJVCM individually and the results of the success and fail parameters will be compared.
The purpose of this study is to assess the non-inferiority for safety and efficacy of using Midline in comparison with PICC for intravenous therapy that do not require a central catheter.
Thrombotic dysfunction is a common complication of tunneled cuffed catheters (TCC) leading to inadequate dialysis dose, need to catheter replacement with as consequence progressive exclusion of vascular sites. Thrombolytic agent can be used as therapeutic locking solution to dissolve the clotting formed in of around the catheter lumen. There are few studies on the optimal approach of TCC-related thrombosis with thrombolytic containing locking solution (dose, number of administrations, timing of administration - intra or interdialytic use). The primary objective of this retrospective study was to compare the efficacy of inter versus intradialytic Urokinase containing locking solution on restoration of the TCC blood flow. The investigators also assess the question of multiple administrations of Urokinase are more efficient than one single administration
The purpose of this investigation is to conduct a randomized, patient-blinded prospective controlled trial comparing peripheral intravenous cannulation in children done by: 1. Conventional landmark cannulation where the intravenous cannulation is done by direct visual guidance or palpation or a combination thereof. 2. Ultrasound guided cannulation by means of DNTP. The investigators hypothesize that with ultrasound-guided peripheral intravenous cannulation the first-attempt success rate will be significantly higher than by the conventional landmark cannulation technique.
