简要总结
This study seeks to compare the standard unprotected PICC with the AGBA PICC for placement success, incidence of venous thrombosis through duplex ultrasound, observing for signs and symptoms of thrombotic occlusion and recording treatment response when diagnosed by sluggish fluid flow, inability to aspirate blood and or difficulty/inability to infuse via a lumen or lumens of the catheter. The incidence of catheter-related bloodstream infection will also be tracked during the study.
详细描述
The primary purpose of this study is to prospectively collect outcome data in order to evaluate the performance and safety of the Arrowga+rd Blue Advanced PICC with regard to first attempt insertion success and incidence of complications as compared to use of standard, unprotected PICC devices.
Patients will receive peripherally-inserted central catheters that are indicated for short or long term peripheral access to the central venous system for intravenous therapy, blood sampling, infusion, pressure injection of contrast media and allows for central venous pressure monitoring. Using randomization, patients will be assigned to receive the institution's standard of care uncoated/unprotected PICC or the study device, the Arrow PICC with Arrowga+rd Blue Advanced Protection
Study Device: Arrow PICC With Arrowga+rd Blue Advanced Protection:
The Arrow PICC with Arrowga+rd Blue Advanced protection (Teleflex Medical Incorporated, Morrisville, NC, USA; hereafter referred to as "AGBA") is an FDA-cleared pressure injectable device that offers both antimicrobial and anti-thrombogenic protection for at least 30 days. The application of Arrowga+rd Blue Advanced protection uses a proprietary process whereby chlorhexidine is chemically bonded to the intra- luminal catheter surfaces from tip to hub, and extra-luminal catheter body. The device is cleared for marketing in the United States of America by the Food and Drug Administration, and has obtained the CE mark for marketing in the European Union. The French size and length selected for use will be documented.
Standard of Care: The standard, unprotected PICC currently in use at the institution will be used in this study (here after referred to as Standard). The details of the PICC selected will be recorded including brand, French size, and length.

结局指标
主要结局
First attempt PICC insertion success
时间窗: During placement
rate of first attempt insertion success = number of patients with first attempt insertion /total number of patients \*100% • First attempt insertion success and number of failed attempts will be documented
PICC Placement Success - Confirmation of tip placement in the lower 1/3 of the superior vena cava at or above the superior vena cava/right atrium junction will be performed by chest x-ray or other tip confirmation system/device and documented.
时间窗: During placement
Once the PICC placement is complete, confirmation of catheter tip location in the lower 1/3 of the superior vena cava at or above the superior vena cava/right atrium junction will be performed by chest x-ray or other tip confirmation system/device and documented. Any adjustments to catheter length post-insertion must be performed using sterile technique and maximal barrier precautions. The number of adjustments to the inserted PICC needed to achieve proper tip location will be recorded.
Confirmation of tip patency by aspirating each lumen for brisk blood return and flushing each lumen with at least 10 mL of 0.9% NaCl injection USP
时间窗: up to 92 days
Once the PICC placement is complete, the inserter will confirm patency by aspirating each lumen for brisk blood return and flushing each lumen with at least 10 mL of 0.9% NaCl injection USP. For inpatients, each lumen will be assessed for patency at least every 12 hours and/or before administration of infusion therapies. Patency assessments will be documented. * Patency checks resulting in brisk blood return and ability to flush easily will be considered patent. * Patency checks resulting in inability to aspirate blood with ability to flush easily will be documented as a withdrawal occlusion. * Patency checks resulting in sluggish flow and/or ability to flush will be documented as a partial occlusion. * Patency checks resulting in inability to aspirate blood and inability to flush will be documented as a complete occlusion.
Incidence of catheter related bloodstream infection assessed by laboratory confirmed bloodstream infection
时间窗: up to 92 days
Subjects will be assessed for laboratory confirmed bloodstream infection (LCBI) as described below through one day post PICC removal LCBI 1 Patient of any age has a recognized pathogen, which is an organism not included on the NHSN common commensal list, identified from one or more blood specimens obtained by a culture or non-culture based microbiologic testing method (excluding organisms identified by testing on sera) AND Organism(s) identified in blood is not related to an infection at another site LCBI 2 Patient of any age has at least one of the following signs or symptoms: fever (\>38.0oC), chills, or hypotension AND Organism(s) identified in blood is not related to an infection at another site AND The same NHSN common commensal is identified by a culture or non-culture based microbiologic testing method, from two or more blood specimens collected on separate occasions.
次要结局
- Incidence of catheter-associated external wall thrombosis versus the total number of effective catheters placed(up to 92 days)
- Device performance evaluation(During placement)
- Evaluation of other safety parameters such as Adverse Events and Device Defects during testing(up to 92 days)
- Incidence of complete loss of catheter function versus the total number of effective catheters placed(up to 92 days)
