About this study
Official title: Comparison of the Efficacy of Sterile Gauze and Semi-permeable Film Dressing for Hemodialysis Non-tunneling Central Venous Catheter
This prospective single center RCT aims to compare sterile gauze and tape versus Semi-permeable film dressing on the incidence of exit-site infection, CRBSIs (catheter-related bloodstream infections), skin irritation, total bacterial count, dressing intactness and cost-benefit, nursing workload in hemodialysis patients with a non-tunneled hemodialysis catheter.
Read the detailed description
This prospective single center RCT aims to compare sterile gauze and tape versus Semi-permeable film dressing on the incidence of exit-site infection, CRBSIs (catheter-related bloodstream infections), skin irritation, total bacterial count, dressing intactness and cost-benefit, nursing workload in hemodialysis patients with a non-tunneled hemodialysis catheter.
154 eligible patients in our HD center will be enrolled consecutively and randomly allocated to one of the two groups according to computer-generated randomization sequences in a 1:1 ratio. Experiment group use semi-permeable film as dressing in exit-site of CVC, and a sterile gauze and tape in control group. Both groups share same disinfection and dressing change procedure. Dressings will be replaced per hemodialysis session, or as needed. Socio-demographic data and disease-related information will be collected, as well as catheterization site, physician, skin and exit status of the catheterization site at baseline. Data as listed in the beginning will be recorded in the next 2 weeks follow-up at every session, such as sign of exit-site infection, CRBSIs (catheter-related bloodstream infections), skin irritation and dryness, dressing intactness. Before the 2nd dressing change, skin around exit of CVC under dressing area will be swabbed by a cotton swab. Nursing time of dressing change will be recorded by a third nurses. Cost and benefit will be calculated and compared by the end.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
semi-permeable filmDevice
Experiment group use semi-permeable film as dressing in exit-site of CVC and dressings will be changed per hemodialysis session, or or whenever the dressing is soiled, bloody, or fell off.
sterile gauze and tapeDevice
Control group use sterile gauze and tape as dressing in exit-site of CVC and dressings will be changed per hemodialysis session, or whenever the dressing is soiled, bloody, or fell off.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Semi-permeable film dressing | Experimental | Experiment group use semi-permeable film as dressing in exit-site of CVC and dressings will be changed per hemodialysis session, or whenever the dressing is soiled, bloody, or fell off. Receives: Device: semi-permeable film |
| sterile gauze and tape dressing | Other | Control group use sterile gauze and tape as dressing in exit-site of CVC and dressings will be changed per hemodialysis session, or or whenever the dressing is soiled, bloody, or fell off. Receives: Device: sterile gauze and tape |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
exit-site infection
redness, tenderness, swelling and/or with exudation within 2 cm around exit of CVC in the skin
Measured: before disinfectant and dressing change at every hemodialysis session within 2 weeks
Secondary outcomes (5)
catheter-related blood stream infection(CRBSI)
At least one blood culture from peripheral venous puncture was collected at CVC removal and whenever a catheter-related infection or other type of sepsis was suspected (temperature 38.2°C or 36.5°C or chills, leukocytes 10,000 or 4,000, or other signs of sepsis according the diagnosis of CDC
Measured: within 2-week follow-up or before withdrawn of hemodialysis therapy if the patient cannot reach 2 weeks
skin erythema and dryness under the dressing area
The following scale was used for erythema [modified from Fitzpatrick et al. (20)]: 0 ¼ none; 0.5 ¼ equivocal erythema; 1 ¼ slight redness, spotty and diffuse; 2 ¼ moderate uniform redness; 3 ¼ intense redness; 4 ¼ fiery red with oedema.The following scale was used for dryness:0 ¼ none; 1 ¼ slight scaling, dryness; 2 ¼ moderate scaling, dryness; 3 ¼ severe dryness with large flakes. The sum score of dryness and erythema over all assessment times served as outcome parameter.
Measured: before disinfectant and dressing change at every hemodialysis session within 2 weeks
total bacterial count
cotton swab in skin within 2 cm around the exit-site of CVC under the dressing
Measured: Once only. At the time of the 2nd dressing change after CVC insertion of each patient(dressing change usually happened at each hemodialysis therapy session)
dressing intactness
if all the corners or edges of dressing is intact, count how many corners or edges rolled up or fell off
Measured: before disinfectant and dressing change at every hemodialysis session within 2 weeks
nursing time for dressing change
how much time a dressing change procedure cost in minutes. Nursing time are recorded by other nurse using a clock while the nurse change dressing for a patient.the whole time cost of the nurse doing dressing change should be the outcome.
Measured: at any of the session, once only
