Trial summary

Background: Peripheral Intravenous catheter (PIVC) is a frequently used device for intravascular access. It is usually indicated to administer intravenous fluid and medications. However, the investigators could possibly utilize this line for blood sampling even after using it as a fluid port. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Blood Sampling From a Pre-existed Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Line (Indwelling Line): a Technique to Keep Optimal Specimen After Fluid Flush

Background: Peripheral Intravenous catheter (PIVC) is a frequently used device for intravascular access. It is usually indicated to administer intravenous fluid and medications. However, the investigators could possibly utilize this line for blood sampling even after using it as a fluid port.

Read the detailed description

Aims: To investigate the quality of previously flushed PIVC sample and the effectiveness of the withdrawal technique.

Methodology: Study will be held in King Fahad University Hospital during a year after obtaining the IRB approval. Selection of study participants will be depending on their health status and the investigators will exclude pediatric participants. Two blood samples will be collected from participants. First one is after the insertion of the intravenous peripheral line. The second is after fluid infusion through the same line. Samples will be sent to the laboratory then. Results will be collected and analyzed.

The importance of the research: If this type of sampling can be standardized , this means there will be less insertions to the patients, less adverse effects in relation to the number of insertions, fast and preexisted intravascular access for sampling so the time can be saved in critical conditions.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of pCO2, pO2 (mmHg) Before and After IV Fluid Infusion in Healthy Adults

    Blood samples will be analyzed using a venous blood gas (VBG) machine to assess pCO2, pO2 (mmHg). We will measure these values both before and after IVF infusion. The comparison of results aims to detect any statistically significant changes. This approach prioritizes patient comfort by utilizing the same catheter and requiring only a minimal blood discard.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Comparison of PH Before and After IV Fluid Infusion in Healthy Adults

    Blood samples will be analyzed using a venous blood gas (VBG) machine to assess PH. We will measure these values both before and after IVF infusion. The comparison of results aims to detect any statistically significant changes. This approach prioritizes patient comfort by utilizing the same catheter and requiring only a minimal blood discard.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Comparison of ctHb (g/dL) Before and After IV Fluid Infusion in Healthy Adults

    Blood samples will be analyzed using a venous blood gas (VBG) machine to assess ctHb (g/dL) . We will measure these values both before and after IVF infusion. The comparison of results aims to detect any statistically significant changes. This approach prioritizes patient comfort by utilizing the same catheter and requiring only a minimal blood discard.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Comparison of SO2, FO2Hb, FCOHb, FMetHb (%) Before and After IV Fluid Infusion in Healthy Adults

    Blood samples will be analyzed using a venous blood gas (VBG) machine to assess SO2, FO2Hb, FCOHb, FMetHb (%). We will measure these values both before and after IVF infusion. The comparison of results aims to detect any statistically significant changes. This approach prioritizes patient comfort by utilizing the same catheter and requiring only a minimal blood discard.

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Comparison of cBase(Ecf)c, cHCO,-(P.st)c, cNa, cK, cCl, cCa (mmol/L) Before and After IV Fluid Infusion in Healthy Adults

    Blood samples will be analyzed using a venous blood gas (VBG) machine to assess cBase(Ecf)c, cHCO,-(P.st)c, cNa, cK, cCl, cCa (mmol/L). We will measure these values both before and after IVF infusion. The comparison of results aims to detect any statistically significant changes. This approach prioritizes patient comfort by utilizing the same catheter and requiring only a minimal blood discard.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Normal saline in people with Emergencies, run by Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.

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 16 Oct 2023. 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 Saudi Arabia. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Dunya N Alfaraj, MD (00966541167170, dnfaraj@iau.edu.sa), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of pCO2, pO2 (mmHg) Before and After IV Fluid Infusion in Healthy Adults (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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?
