Midline Catheter and Its Impact on Central Lines Removal in ICU

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Vascular Access Device
Interventions
Device: PVC
Device: Midline
Registration Number
NCT03675711
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Departemental Vendee
Brief Summary

The study will evaluate 2 strategies to remove central venous catheter (CVC): in one part, the insertion of a midline catheter and in the other part, the conventional insertion of peripheral venous catheter (PVC)

Detailed Description

Patients will be randomised when the last indication for CVC has disappeared, which means parenteral nutrition or vasopressors administration.

They will be randomised either in the midline group or in the PVC group.

* In the midline group, a midline catheter will try to be inserted before the 48th hour after last indication for CVC disappeared.

* In the PVC group: a PVC will try to be inserted before the 48th hour after last indication for CVC disappeared.

If successful, CVC will then be removed. If not, a PVC will try to be inserted daily till success or worthlessness of a venous line or death.

The presence of a CVC will be assessed at the 96th hour after disappearance of last CVC indication.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
% of patient with a successful Removal of CVC at the 96th hour after disappearance of last indication for CVCH96 : 96th hour after disappearance of last indication for CVC

A successful removal of CVC is defined as

* success of midline/PVC insertion at H96 and consequently CVC removal

* and no necessity for insertion of a new CVC within the 96 first hours

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of new CVC inserteduntil 28 days after randomisation
Number of CVC colonized for per 1000 CVC /daysuntil 28 days after randomisation
Number of peripheral catheter-associated bacteremiauntil 28 days after randomisation
hospital mortalityUntil discharge from hospital, an expected average of 20 days

mortality in medical and surgical unit (no SSR or long stay)

Total number of puncture required for the insertion of a peripheral catheteruntil 28 days after randomisation
Time consumptionuntil 28 days after randomisation

Total time of catheterisation, (measured from the entrance in patient room, to the exit)

ICU length of stayUntil discharge from ICU, an expected average of 12 days
Total number of peripheral catheter useduntil 28 days after randomisation
Number of blood culture for research of catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI)until 28 days after randomisation
CVC dwell timefrom disappearance of CVC indication to last CVC removal or 28 days after randomisation if still in place

Time of central catheter duration (hours)

Number of CVC-associated bacteremiauntil 28 days after randomisation
Hospital length of stayUntil discharge from hospital, an expected average of 20 days

Hospital stay in medical and surgical unit (no follow-up and rehabilitation care unit or long stay)

ICU mortalityUntil discharge from ICU, an expected average of 12 days
