Identifying Local Signs at the Catheter Insertion Site With Artificial Intelligence

Recruiting
Conditions
Catheter Infection
Registration Number
NCT05440396
Lead Sponsor
Outcome Rea
Brief Summary

Deepcath is the first step to the introduction of artificial intelligence in catheter care. A better use of visualisation of catheter exit site should be used not only by the HCWs but also by the patients and their family.

A deep learning system able to detect visual abnormalities of the catheter exit site will be an helpful tools to develop a continuous follow-up of intravascular catheters.

All
Target Recruitment
1000
Inclusion Criteria

Patients over 18 years of age Patients with one or more implanted central venous, midline, piCCline, arterial, or peripheral catheters.

Patient and/or trusted person and/or family who have verbally stated their non-objection to the study Patient affiliated or beneficiary of a social security plan

Exclusion Criteria

Patients presenting a peripheral identification sign close to the catheter insertion point cannot be masked when the photograph is taken. Thus, jewelry, clothing, tattoos, scars, and birthmarks are identifying features.

Patients whose catheter insertion point is not visible.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The number of correct predictions for redness divided by the total number of predictionsthrough study completion, an average of 1 year

Overall classification accuracy of the learning model compared to the assessment of three independent medical experts on the detection of the presence of redness greater than or equal to 5 mm at the catheter insertion site.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The number of correct predictions for indurated venous cord divided by the total number of predictionsthrough study completion, an average of 1 year

Evaluate, on the basis of images of peripheral catheter insertion sites, the reliability of the learning model on the assessment of the presence of indurated venous cord.

The link between presence of local signs and infectionthrough study completion, an average of 1 year

Measure the correlation between the appearance of the catheter puncture site and the presence of signs consistent with local and systemic infection.

The ratio of true positives and total positives predicted:through study completion, an average of 1 year

The precision metric focuses on Type-I errors(FP). A Type-I error occurs when we reject a true null Hypothesis.
