About this study

Official title: Central Venous Catheter Dressing Change and Bacterial Colonization in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

This study is non-inferiority trial design.The relationship between whether dressing change 24hrs after CVC (central venous catheter) catheterization and bacterial colonization of the skin.

Read the detailed description

Central venous catheter (CVC) was punctured directly through jugular vein, subclavian vein and femoral vein, and its tip is located in superior vena cava or inferior vena cava. CVC is widely used in ICU because of its kinds of advantages. However, CVC, as an invasive puncture method, may bring more complications. The incidence of central line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) was 1.33-31.6/1000 catheterization day , and the death rate due to CVC associated bloodstream infection is 3-5% . Therefore, various organizations have formulated guidelines for the prevention of CLABSI and best evidence summary . From October 2019 to April 2020, taking the children's hospital of Fudan University as the leading unit, PICU of children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University, Anhui children's Hospital, Xiamen children's Hospital, Shenzhen Children's Hospital and Guangzhou Women's and Children's medical center as the cooperation units, carried out children's central venous catheterization Multi center research on best practices of management and maintenance. It was found that changing dressings 24 hours after catheterization may increase the incidence of MARSI, and repeatedly exposing dressings may also increase the incidence of CLABSI. The research team returned to the original evidence and consulted the guidelines. It was found that: under the premise of achieving the maximum aseptic catheterization, the guidelines issued by various institutions did not mention that the application should be replaced 24 hours after catheterization; however, the evidence was mentioned in the evidence summary, but there was no support from the relevant original literature. Therefore, it is worth discussing whether children need to change dressings 24 hours after catheterization. This study is non-inferiority trial design.

What participants receive

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

  • 24hrs dressings changeOther

    The first dressing change and sampling were completed 24 hours after catheterization in the operating room or PICU.When bedside nurse remove the dressing ,the researchers used 4 normal saline cotton swabs to wipe the skin under the dressing. Taking the puncture point as the center, 4 cotton swabs wipes 4 points in the northwest, northeast, Southeast and northeast direction 1cm away from the puncture point,separately.Then the specimen delivered to Laboratory..Then the second dressing change and sampling were completed 7days later(if there is no clinical indication occur,such leaking,blood).

  • 7days dressings changeOther

    The first dressing change and sampling were completed 7 days after catheterization in the operating room or PICU.When bedside nurse remove the dressing ,the researchers used 4 normal saline cotton swabs to wipe the skin under the dressing. Taking the puncture point as the center, 4 cotton swabs wipes 4 points in the northwest, northeast, Southeast and northeast direction 1cm away from the puncture point,separately.Then the specimen delivered to Laboratory..(if there is no clinical indication occur,such leaking,blood).

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Bacterial colonization in the skin under dressing

    incidence of bacterial colonization in the skin under dressing :7days or 8days after insertion,when nurse change the CVC dressing,The researchers used 4 normal saline cotton swabs to wipe the skin under the dressing. Taking the puncture point as the center, 4 cotton swabs wipes 4 points in the northwest, northeast, Southeast and northeast direction 1cm away from the puncture point,separately. Samples were inoculated on Petri dishes respectively.The type and quantity of bacteria will be reported by the Laboratory. The colony number above 20 CFU(colony-forming units) / cm2 means Bacterial colonization occurred.

    Measured: 7days or 8days of central venous catheter insertion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of Medical adhesive-related skin injury(MARSI)

    MARSI:persistent erythema and / or other skin abnormalities within 30 minutes or more after nurse change the dressings

    Measured: from cvc insertion to 7days or 8days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 24hrs dressings change and 7days dressings change in people with Bacterial Infections, run by Children's Hospital of Fudan University at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 13 Apr 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 China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

Incidence of Bacterial colonization in the skin under dressing (time frame: 7days or 8days of central venous catheter insertion). 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?
