About this study

Official title: Contribution of Ultrasound for Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Placement by Intensive Care Nurses

Peripheral intravenous access is a major intervention in patients admitted to an intensive care unit. Systematically performed by nurses, it is also an essential intervention when the central venous access has to be removed. However, in the intensive care unit, patient centered-characteristics such as previous history of intravenous drug abuse, obesity, history of multiple vascular punctures or fluid overload most often affect the success rate of this procedure. For these patients, failure consequences are numerous: 1) delayed discharge from the intensive care unit, 2) increased pain and dissatisfaction, 3) increased incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infections. The use of ultrasound has gained increasing popularity particularly for obtaining central venous access. We hypothesize that, among trained nurses, ultrasound-guided peripheral venous access could represent an attractive alternative compared to the traditional anatomical method in order to increase the success rate.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. number of peripheral venous catheterization attempts

    Each day, only 3 attempts are allowed

    Measured: up to day 2

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Number of central lines removed

    Measured: intraoperative

  2. central venous catheter dwell time

    defined period between insertion and removal of the central venous line

    Measured: intraoperative

  3. peripheral venous catheter dwell time

    defined period between insertion and removal of the peripheral catheter with a maximum of 3 days.

    Measured: intraoperative

  4. number of central line catheter related infection

    Measured: intraoperative

  5. number of central line catheter related colonization

    Measured: intraoperative

  6. Diameter of the inserted peripheral venous catheter

    at peripheral venous catheter insertion

    Measured: day 0, or day 1 or day 2

  7. patient satisfaction

    assessed by an analogic scale

    Measured: intraoperative

  8. nurse satisfaction

    assessed by a survey form

    Measured: intraoperative

  9. Proportion of peripheral venous catheter successful placement

    Measured: at day 0, day 1, day 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vascular ultrasound system in people with Venous Catheterization, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

number of peripheral venous catheterization attempts (time frame: up to day 2). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02285712, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Mar 2017.
