Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Antimicrobial
Interventions
Device: insert catheter
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.

GroupInterventionDescription
forearminsert catheter①Evaluation: The puncture site was determined by senior nurses based on group assignment before placement. The depth and diameter of the pre-punctured vein were measured using ultrasound assessment, and the intima of the pre-punctured vein was examined without applying a tourniquet. ②Catheterization: A 3 Fr, 8 cm tip-opened long PIVC was used. Catheters were placed according to the designated sites for each group using ultrasound-guided and accelerated Seidinger techniques. After confirming catheter placement, needleless connectors and extension were attached, and the catheter was secured without tension using a sterile transparent dressing. ③Maintenance: Specialized nurses were trained to monitor and evaluate catheter function daily. Clinical nurses conducted routine maintenance until the study completion. Daily data were recorded and updated in computerized records.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of catheter-related complicationsAfter insertion of catheter

Catheter-related complications were assessed including thrombophlebitis, other phlebitis, catheter occlusion, bleeding, catheter-related infections, and weeping.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Indwelling catheter durationAfter 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-attemptAfter 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 timeAfter 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.
