简要总结
evaluate whether hand-grip ball exercises reduce thrombosis and occlusions of Midline catheters in hospitalized patients.
详细描述
The proposed intervention consists of low-intensity, short-duration, non-invasive, and non-pharmacological exercises, with an expected minimal risk profile. The aim of the study is therefore to systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this practice in patients with Midline catheters, in a context of genuine scientific uncertainty, in order to generate evidence useful for clinical practice.
Primary objective To compare the effectiveness of a structured upper-limb exercise program versus usual care in reducing the incidence of Midline catheter-related thrombosis/occlusions in a population of hospitalized patients.
Associated endpoints
Incidence of Midline thrombosis (%) confirmed by ultrasound.
