研究概览
简要总结
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Tegaderm CHG clear dressing reduces the number of unscheduled central catheter dressing changes compared to standard clear Tegaderm IV dressing in pediatric patients between the ages of 2 months to 18 years with central venous access. Secondarily, we will monitor contact skin irritation and central line associated blood stream infections.
详细描述
In this prospective, randomized, cohort study, we plan on enrolling all patients 2 months to 18 years of age admitted with a central venous catheter expected to be in place for > 48 hours. Patients will be randomized to either receive 1) Tegaderm CHG clear dressing or 2) standard clear Tegaderm IV dressing. All central line care will remain uniform between the two groups as dictated by the central line maintenance bundle currently directing central line care in our children's hospital. Study completion will occur at the time of central line removal or discharge from the hospital, whichever comes first.

结局指标
主要结局
Reduction in unscheduled central catheter dressing changes
时间窗: Study completion (Study completion will occur at the time of central line removal or discharge from the hospital, whichever comes first). On average 2 weeks.
The policy at our institution is to change central catheter dressings every 7 days unless they are soiled or detached. We will document dressing changes for the duration of line use and document the reason for the dressing change.
次要结局
- Blood Stream Infection(Discharge (at 2 weeks or more))
- Skin irritation(Study completion (Study completion will occur at the time of central line removal or discharge from the hospital, whichever comes first). On average 2 weeks.)
