About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Prospective, Randomized Trial Comparing the Peripheral I.V. Catheter Complication Rates of Two Different Catheter Dressings

A multi-center randomized control trial comparing the dressing wear times of two different transparent film dressings when used to secure peripheral intravenous catheters of hospitalized adult patients.

Read the detailed description

A multi-center, prospective, randomized control trial comparing the dressing wear time, complication rates and cost of two different transparent film dressing when used as intended for peripheral intravenous catheter site protection and securement in five U.S. hospitals.

Conditions
Surgery
Being tested
New PIV Dressing, Standard PIV Dressing

What participants receive

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

  • New PIV DressingDevice

    A commercially available breathable, transparent film dressing with a soft-cloth border, notch and securement tape strip. The dressing system is used in the study to cover a peripheral intravenous catheter insertion site and secure the catheter. Dressing system is to remain in place until the PIV catheter is discontinued which is anticipated to be 72 hours. The dressing and PIV site will be observed daily. If dressing excessively lifts from the skin, the dressing system will be replaced with the same, assigned dressing system. The number of dressing replacements and the duration of wear will be measured while the same study PIV catheter dwells, an average of 72 hours during the subject's hospitalization.

  • Standard PIV DressingDevice

    A commercially available breathable, transparent film dressing used with a one inch width piece of Transpore™ medical tape. The dressing system is used in the study to cover a peripheral intravenous catheter insertion site and secure the catheter. Dressing system is to remain in place until catheter is discontinued which is anticipated to be 72 hours. The dressing and PIV site will be observed daily. If dressing excessively lifts from the skin, the dressing system will be replaced with the same, assigned dressing system. The number of dressing replacements and the duration of wear will be measured while the same study PIV catheter dwells, an average of 72 hours during the subject's hospitalization.

Study groups in NCT02725788
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
New PIV DressingExperimentalBordered, notched dressing that covers, secures peripheral intravenous (PIV) catheter
Receives: Device: New PIV Dressing
Standard PIV DressingOtherFilm,adhesive dressing that covers, secures peripheral intravenous (PIV) catheter and used with a medical grade tape
Receives: Device: Standard PIV Dressing

What is being measured

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

  1. Dressing Wear Time

    Dressing wear time is the time from dressing application to removal, i.e. catheter no longer needed or catheter-related complication occurs (remove dressing and catheter) OR excessive dressing lift requiring dressing replacement.

    Measured: Dressing wear time was assessed daily and 8 month dressing wear data are presented
