About this study

Official title: Implementation of an Infusion Management Scheme to Improve Patient Outcome in Tertiary Children's Hospitals:A Multi-center Before-afer Trial

This study is a multi-center before-after trial design. The object is to observe whether the incidence of central line associated blood stream infection(CLABSI) will tend to descend compared with retrospective electronic medical record data after implementation of an infusion management scheme which comes form " Clinical Practice Guideline on Infusion Therapy in Children " .

Read the detailed description

Infusion therapy is an important part in pediatric ward. Most hospitalized children need indwelling vascular access devices to receive infusion therapy. Much attention has been paid to possible serious or fatal complications due to immature immune system, poor communication ability and cognitive disorder in children during catheter placement, use and maintenance. Reducing the complications related to central venous catheter has become the focus of the global health care system. Studies have shown that the technical level of operators is in connection with the incidence of CLABSI, and an intravenous infusion team (IV Team) is the key to preventing CLABSI, which may fundamentally improve the clinical outcomes of pediatric patients. From December 2021 to April 2023, taking Children's Hospital of Fudan University as the leading center, Xiamen Children's Hospital, Anhui Provincial Children's Hospital, Dalian Municipal Women and Children's Medical Group, Tongji Hospital, First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, Qidong Women's and Children's Health, Chengdu Women's and Children's Central Hospital, Hunan Children's Hospital as the cooperation centers. A retrospective review of electronic medical record data will be collected first. The intervention is composed of setting up a pediatric intravenous infusion team; carrying out a quality improvement in collecting and sending suspected CLABSI samples; providing infusion training curriculums to nurses in forms of lectures, group discussions, operation demonstrations, and scenario simulations, holding practice review meeting with them; providing elements to caregivers of educational leaflet, nurse-provided education during patients' infusion therapy.

  • Infusion management schemeOther

    • To set up a pediatric intravenous infusion team;
    • To form standardized procedures by carrying out a quality improvement program in collecting and sending samples for inspection once suspected CLABSI occurs (1 month for training and 3 months for continuous improvement ); providing infusion training curriculums to nurses in forms of lectures, group discussions, operation demonstrations, and scenario simulations, holding practice review meeting with them; providing elements to caregivers of educational leaflet, nurse-provided education during patients' infusion therapy( 6-month implementation);
    • To observe the continued daily infusion practice in 6 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of CLABSI

    CLABSI diagnostic criteria requires that a central line is in situ at the time of or within 48 hours; children with a central line have fever (over 38℃), chills, hypotension or mental state changes; there is no alternate source of bloodstream infection. Apart from the above three necessary requirements, CLABSI diagnosis could be accompanied by two positive blood cultures drawn from a peripheral vein and a CVAD, two positive blood cultures drawn from different CVADs, one positive blood culture from a CVAD with a planned specific antimicrobial therapy or common skin contamination bacteria cultured (eg. Coagulase-negative Staphylococci, diphtheroids, Bacillus or Micrococcus).

    Incidence of CLABSI = (case numbers of CLABSI)/(Catheter Days per Month)×1000‰.

    Measured: During the 6-month implementation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Changes of Inspection rate of suspected CLABSI samples

    When there are suspected cases of CLABSI, the physician will prescribe blood culture and the nurse will draw blood within 1 hour and send them for inspection (if antibiotics are needed, blood should be drawn before administration).

    Suspected CLABSI samples inspection rate= (documented samples for inspection )/(Required samples for inspection)×100%.

    Measured: From baseline to the end of the 6-month implementation

  2. Incidece of infiltration (of Grade2 or higher) and/or extravasation

    Incidence of infiltration (of Grade2 or higher) and extravasation: The bedside nurses document PIV infiltration and extravasation using "Pediatric PIV Infiltration Scale" during fluid infusing and every shift.

    Incidence of infiltration (of Grade2 or higher) and/or extravasation = (case numbers of infiltration (of Grade2 or higher) and/or extravasation)/(Catheter Days per Month)×1000‰.

    Measured: During the 6-month implementation

  3. Changes of the scores of readiness of internal context

    10% of nurses in every participant center will be randomly drawn to complete the investigation questionnaire for the readiness of internal context using self-made "Assessment Tool of Organizational Internal Context (6 items) " and "Assessment Tool of Local Internal Context ( 9 items)".The purpose of the survey is to evaluate the internal context of evidence-based practice in each participant center. The score of each item is based on Likert 5 grades rating levels from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest).

    Measured: From baseline to the end of the 6-month implementation

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of CLABSI (time frame: During the 6-month implementation). 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.
