NCT05931887
To assess the ability of the Silq ClearTract™ 100% Silicone 2-Way Foley Catheter to reduce catheter associated complications in subjects that require a long-term indwelling Foley catheter when compared to other commercially available Foley catheters.
NCT06093269
In chronic hemodialysis patients, bacteremia is most commonly caused by dialysis catheter infections. It is estimated that the vast majority (52-84%) of these infections are due to Gram-positive cocci, particularly Staphylococcus aureus (21-43%). Penicillin M (oxacillin and cloxacillin in France) is the reference beta-lactam for the treatment of invasive methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) infections, but has not shown a prognostic benefit in large retrospective cohorts comparing penicillin M and cefazolin, at the expense of more frequent adverse events. Dosage in the chronic hemodialysis population is unclear because it is based on old studies.
NCT07239219
Given the high burden of post-catheter removal UTIs, this study aims to evaluate Irrisept instillation as a non-antibiotic intervention to reduce infection rates. By comparing Irrisept to saline irrigation, the study will provide critical insights into the efficacy of antiseptic bladder irrigation in preventing UTIs while minimizing antibiotic use. If successful, this approach could lead to new clinical guidelines for catheter removal protocols, improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.
NCT06332040
Urinary tract infections in catheterized patients is an unacceptable complication and has been termed a 'never event' by the Center for Medicare \& Medicaid Services (CMS); however there is not consensus among clinicians on how to best prevent CAUTIs. We propose a prospective randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of prophylactic gentamicin bladder irrigation in elimination of CAUTIs.
NCT06566495
The purpose of this study was to compare microbial contamination on the surface of reusable stasis after indefinite use, 2 weeks and 4 weeks. We investigated how the site - the operating theater and the emergency department, as well as the time of use - affects the number of organisms.
NCT05855616
The objective of this study is to compare the rate of hemodialysis catheter-related infections according to the treatment regimen: chlorhexidine gluconate dressing or chlorhexidine solution.
NCT06037525
Clinical evaluation of the PowerGlide™ Pro Midline Catheter in patients with vascular diseases
NCT06019897
The objective of this study is to assess the relationship between infusion system colonization (ramps or multi-lumen devices) and the occurrence of CVC infection/colonization. This study is a prospective observational research that does not modify usual patient care. Its objective is to evaluate the relationship between infusion tubing colonization and the occurrence of central venous catheter colonization. The only additional intervention is swabbing the taps at each IV line ramp at systematic ramp changes (done every 4 days) and at catheter removal. For the multi-lumen device, swabbing is only performed upon catheter removal at the level of the one-way valves. After catheter removal, a flush (1 mL of 0.9% NaCl) of the midline is performed and cultured to assess for endoluminal colonization. The distal end of the CVC is sent for culture, following the usual practice of the department to monitor catheter colonization and infections. The primary outcome measure is the proportion of colonized infusion systems based on the culture of the CVC. The secondary objectives are to describe factors associated with CVC infections, to determine the incidence of colonization and infections in different locations of central venous catheters, to analyze the bacterial ecology based on the type of infusion system used, and to evaluate the ecological and economic impact of different devices (ramps vs. multi-lumen devices). The secondary outcome measures are as follows: Proportion of colonized infusion systems based on the colonization status of the CVC and the type of infusion system (ramps vs. multi-lumen devices) Proportion of colonized infusion systems based on the infection status of the CVC and the type of infusion system (ramps vs. multi-lumen devices) Duration of antibiotic treatment Weight of compounds used with each infusion system over the duration of CVC placement (ramps vs. multi-lumen devices) Calculation of material costs based on the infusion system used over the duration of CVC placement (ramps vs. multi-lumen devices)
NCT03627884
Prospective, randomized, comparative clinical and open-label trial comparing sodium bicarbonate catheter lock solution (SBCLS) to normal saline catheter lock solution (NSCLS) use in HD patients with central venous catheters (CVC).
NCT03039777
Hemodialysis patients frequently develop catheter-related blood stream bacteremia (CRBSI). Procalcitonin is a marker of sepsis in bacterial infection. this study for detection of its role as a surrogacy marker in CRBSI.
NCT02599181
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of alcoholic skin disin-fection before PNC (perineural catheter)-removal on the detection of bacteria on the subcutaneous part of the PNC or on the tip. Furthermore, the correlation of bacterial colonization with PNC-associated local inflammation or infection was evaluated.
NCT02789501
Catheter infections and dysfunctions are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in haemodialysis patients. According to the US Renal Data System, infection is the second leading cause of death in dialysis patients and the leading cause of catheter removal and morbidity in patients with end-stage renal disease. There is evidence that catheter lock solutions containing taurolidine reduce the risk of catheter related infections and improve catheter patency. Lock solutions have a local, but no systemic effect. In this study a taurolidine based lock regimen (TauroLock™-Hep500, Tauropharm, Waldbüttelbrunn, Germany, 2x/week and TauroLock™-U25.000, Tauropharm, Waldbüttelbrunn, Germany, 1x/ week) will be compared to 4% citrate (CitraFlow™ 4%, MedXL, Montreal, Canada, 3x/week) as standard lock solution. The objective of this study is to evaluate if a TauroLock™ based regimen to lock tunneled haemodialysis catheters has reducing effects on catheter related blood stream infections and catheter dysfunctions.
