What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CVCDevice

    The inclusion of any CVC is an aseptic technique, so hand washing, mask, cap is required, sterile gloves and scoping insertion using sterile drapes. The skin disinfection is carried out with 2% chlorhexidine alcohol 17, to be dried completely before insertion of the catheter (30 seconds). No prophylactic antibiotic was administered before insertion. In the case of CVC, the subclavian vein of choice will be followed by the femoral and jugular. Seldinger technique with direct radiation control in the operating room is used.

  • PICCDevice

    The inclusion of any PICC is an aseptic technique, so hand washing, mask, cap is required, sterile gloves and scoping insertion using sterile drapes. The skin disinfection is carried out with 2% chlorhexidine alcohol 17, to be dried completely before insertion of the catheter (30 seconds). No prophylactic antibiotic was administered before insertion. PICC vein of choice is the basilica vein with help of Ecography in the interventional radiology room.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CVC and PICC in people with Catheter Related Infections, run by Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau at 1 site in Spain.

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 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. 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 participants with Bacteraemia (time frame: 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 Oct 2018.
