Long Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Insertion Site and Catheter-related Complications in Antimicrobial Therapy

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Antimicrobial

• Registration Number: NCT06455228
• Lead Sponsor: Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital

Brief Summary

This study applies long PIVCs to patients undergoing antimicrobial therapy, and compares the effects of different placement sites, aiming to provide a reference basis for patients undergoing antimicrobial treatment to select the optimal placement site, thus reducing complications, prolonging catheter retention time, and alleviating the patient's pain.

Detailed Description

This study investigates the use of long PIVCs in patients undergoing antimicrobial therapy, and compares the effects of different insertion sites. The aim is to provide evidence-based recommendations for the optimal placement site for long PIVCs in antimicrobial treatment, with the goals of reducing complications, prolonging catheter retention time, and alleviating patient discomfort.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Incidence of catheter-related complications	After insertion of catheter	Catheter-related complications were assessed including thrombophlebitis, other phlebitis, catheter occlusion, bleeding, catheter-related infections, and weeping.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Indwelling catheter duration	After insertion of catheter	The Indwelling catheter duration refers to the number of days between the date of catheter placement and its removal.
Puncture success rate with one-attempt	After insertion of catheter	The puncture success rate with one-attempt refers to the instance where the puncture needle successfully enters the target vein on the first attempt without needing to change the puncture site.
The procedure time	After insertion of catheter.	The procedure time is defined as the duration from the start of skin disinfection to the stabilization of the catheter with dressing.
