About this study

Official title: APPLICATION OF NURSE-FOCUSED ALGORITHM IN INTENSIVE CARE UNITS TO PREVENT CENTRAL CATHETER-RELATED BLOODSTREAM İNFECTİONS

The research is an algorithm study focused on nursing care in order to prevent Central Catheter-Associated Bloodstream Infections in intensive care units. The algorithm prepared with infection control measures related to central catheter care will be applied with intensive care nurses and the effect of the algorithm on central catheter-related bloodstream infections will be examined. In practice, a 20-day preliminary assessment, a three-month intervention period, and a three-month post-intervention planning were made.

Read the detailed description

In the light of literature review and guidelines, intensive care nurses will care for central catheters through an algorithm created with infection control measures.

Nurse-focused algorithm content to prevent central catheter-related bloodstream infections Hand hygiene practice Use of personal protective equipment according to infection control measures Evaluation of the catheter insertion site in terms of redness, swelling, tenderness, discharge, bleeding Use of >0.5% chlorhexidine solution containing 70% alcohol for skin antisepsis at the catheter insertion site (if there is no chlorhexidine, povidone iodine + 70% alcohol solution is used) Changing the transparent, semi-permeable dressings every 5-7 days and gauze dressings every 48 hours for catheter dressing Catheter dressing with aseptic technique Use of sterile, preservative-free saline for flushing and locking in order to ensure the lumen of the catheter.

Aseptic conditions should be observed if the junction of the catheter and the infusion set (Hub) is to be touched.

Keeping the used triple taps closed Changing IV fluid sets and connection tools at appropriate times Daily assessment of CVC requirement The research will be carried out in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Level Intensive Care Units of Bilecik Training and Research Hospital in Bilecik, Turkey. Infection rates will be compared in the study. In the study, the date of June 2021 will be taken as a preliminary assessment and training time for nurses. July-September 2021 will be the intervention period of the study, and October-December 2021 will be the post-intervention period.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Infection Prevention in people with Catheter Infection and Catheter Infections Related, run by Abant Izzet Baysal University.

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 10 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Infection rate (time frame: Three months). 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 10 Jun 2021.
