Trial summary

Catheter related infections (CRIs) were found to be associated with several risk factors, including patient related risk factors such as age, gender, clinical status and catheter related risk factors such as the vascular access location, dwelling time, catheter type and number of lumens.

About this study

Official title: Central and Peripheral Venous Catheters Associated Blood Stream Infection in the Critically Ill Patients in Assiut University Hospital

Catheter related infections (CRIs) were found to be associated with several risk factors, including patient related risk factors such as age, gender, clinical status and catheter related risk factors such as the vascular access location, dwelling time, catheter type and number of lumens. In addition to the inserted solution type and the experience of the professional who performs the procedure ,These factors constitute important strategic points for actions to compare the infectious complications of peripheral versus central venous catheters in critically ill patients.

Read the detailed description

Nosocomial (hospital-acquired) bloodstream infections (BSIs) are an important cause of morbidity and mortality, with an estimated 250,000 cases occurring each year in the United States.

BSIs may be either primary or secondary. Secondary infections are related to infections at other sites, such as the urinary tract, lung, postoperative wounds, and skin. Most nosocomial BSIs are primary, as illustrated by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance system, in which 64 percent of the nosocomial BSIs reported were primary BSIs. While some primary BSIs have no identifiable source, most are associated with intravascular catheters, and central venous catheters (CVCs) in particular.

Critically ill patients require intravenous administration of fluids and drugs.This can be achieved via peripheral or central catheters. Each device is associated with both mechanical and infectious complications. Complications associated with central lines are judged to be more severe. Some patients actually require the insertion of a central line due to the venous toxicity of the drugs or to the necessity of making sure that the infusion is regularly administered (example: high dose catecholamine infusion). Some physicians believe that most Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients should have a central venous line inserted, whereas others feel that some patients may receive active drugs via a peripheral line in selected instances.

Endpoints are the rate of mechanical complications (difficulty in inserting the line, need for repeat insertion attempts, occurrence of arterial puncture, occurrence of pneumothorax) and of infectious complications (local catheter infection or catheter-related bloodstream infection).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Blood Stream Infection, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Dec 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact mohamed maghraby, MD (01010685968, maghraby@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

compare the infectious complications of peripheral versus central venous catheters in critically ill patients (time frame: 7 days). 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 NCT03379948, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 27 Dec 2017.
