Official title: Does Fixing Peripheral Intravenous Catheter With Additional Circular Dressing Material Reduce PIVC Failure And Complications? A Randomized Controlled Trial

The study was conducted to determine the effect of fixing peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) with additional circular dressing material on the duration of PIVC stay and complications related to peripheral intravenous catheterization. In our study, a comparison was made of PIVCs applied to patients in the control (fixation of PIVC with a sterile transparent dressing) and intervention (fixation of PIVC with a sterile transparent dressing and application of an elastane circular dressing on it) groups in a public hospital in Turkey. All-cause PIVC failure was significantly higher in the intervention group (70.2%) compared to the control group (45.5%). It has been determined that fixing the PIVC with additional circular dressing material prolongs the duration of PIVC stay at the site.

Read the detailed description

This study was conducted as a randomized controlled study to determine the effect of fixing the peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) with additional circular dressing material on the duration of stay of the peripheral intravenous catheter and complications related to peripheral intravenous catheterization. In our study, a comparison was made of PIVCs applied to patients in the control (fixation of PIVC with a sterile transparent dressing) and intervention (fixation of PIVC with a sterile transparent dressing and application of an elastane circular dressing on it) groups in a public hospital in Turkey. In our study, PIVC failure was defined as PIVC removal before the end of treatment due to phlebitis, infiltration, accidental dislodgement, occlusion, and leakage. A total of 91 (47 intervention, 44 control) participants were included in the study between April 2023 and September 2023. All-cause PIVC failure was significantly higher in the intervention group (70.2%) compared to the control group (45.5%). It was determined that fixing the PIVC with additional circular dressing material prolongs the duration of PIVC stay at the site. It is recommended that this study be conducted with a different patient population and multicenter.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • intervention group (Elastane circular dressing on sterile transparent dressing)Combination product

    A circular dressing made of elastane material was placed on the patients in the intervention group on a sterile transparent dressing to provide additional fixation on the peripheral intravenous catheter.

Study groups in NCT06310694
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Intervention Group (Elastane circular dressing on sterile transparent dressing)ExperimentalA peripheral intravenous catheter was placed by following all the steps applied to the control group. A circular dressing made of elastane material was placed on the patients in the intervention group on a sterile transparent dressing to provide additional fixation on the peripheral intravenous catheter. There is no need to remove additional circular dressings during intravenous therapy. The peripheral intravenous catheter was monitored for 72 hours with 8-hour observations. Peripheral intravenous catheter was evaluated for infiltration, phlebitis, pain, obstruction, dressing stability, and leakage.
Receives: Combination Product: intervention group (Elastane circular dressing on sterile transparent dressing)
Control group (fixation of PIVC with a sterile transparent dressing)No interventionPeripheral intravenous catheter application was performed by the researcher in accordance with all steps. In the study, only patients who received a 20-gauge peripheral intravenous catheter were followed. The patient's peripheral intravenous catheter was fixed by the researcher with a sterile transparent dressing. The peripheral intravenous catheter was monitored for 72 hours with 8-hour observations. Peripheral intravenous catheter was evaluated for infiltration, phlebitis, pain, obstruction, dressing stability, and leakage.

What is being measured

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

  1. Skin Penetration Difficulty Rating Scale

    The Numerical Rating Scale was used by the investigator who performed the peripheral intravenous catheterization attempt to evaluate the severity of difficulty penetrating the skin. It is a scale with numbers from 1 to 10, with 1 (easy) on one end and 10 (very difficult) on the other end. After PIVC application, the difficulty of penetrating the skin during catheter insertion was evaluated by the researcher, scoring between 1 and 10.

    Measured: four months

  2. Visual Infusion Phlebitis Diagnostic Scale

    Visual Infusion Phlebitis Diagnosis Scale includes grading steps and the symptoms of phlebitis seen at each stage in case of observation of the catheter for possible risks while applying treatment with a peripheral intravenous catheter or in case of phlebitis development. On this scale, symptoms of phlebitis such as redness, pain, swelling, fever and stiffness are rated from 1 to 5.

    Measured: four months

  3. Infiltration Rating Scale

    The infiltration rating scale is used to determine the development and extent of infiltration. On the infiltration scale, infiltration development is graded between 0 and 4 points.

    Measured: four months

  4. Data Collection Form for the Patient Who Had a Peripheral Intravenous Catheter

    In this form, information such as the patient's age, gender, weight, height, BMI (Body Mass Index), diagnosis, chronic disease, date and time of PIVC application, date and time of PIVC termination, reason for PIVC termination, and the region where PIVC was applied were recorded.

    Measured: four months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing intervention group (Elastane circular dressing on sterile transparent dressing) in people with Nurse's Role, run by Ege University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Mar 2024. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Skin Penetration Difficulty Rating Scale (time frame: four months). The study lists 4 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Mar 2024.
