NCT07546994
Central venous catheter (CVC) infections are a frequent and serious nosocomial complication in critical care, leading to increased morbidity, mortality, and costs. The pathophysiology of these infections relies on the formation of a biofilm, an organized microbial structure that confers exceptional tolerance to anti-infectives and the immune system. However, data concerning the characteristics of the in vivo biofilm (kinetics, composition, endo- vs. extraluminal organization) on central venous catheters in intensive care patients are very limited, hindering the development of effective and targeted prevention strategies. The main aim of this study is to quantify the density and describe the spatial distribution (extra- and intraluminal compartments) of the biofilm on infected or colonized central venous catheters, prospectively collected from patients in the critical care units.
NCT07258862
Peripheral venous catheters (PVCs) are the most commonly used intravascular medical devices in healthcare establishments. Although essential in patient care, PVCs represent a significant risk factor for nosocomial infections, as shown by the results of the national prevalence survey. While the main pathophysiological mechanisms are known, the specific factors driving the transition from simple colonization to infection remain unclear. This project aims to identify the major factors involved in the occurrence of bacterial infections related to the colonization of peripheral venous catheters.
NCT07175116

NCT04140916
Central venous catheters are routinely used, however, with a complication rate exceeding 15%. Therefore, other types of venous catheters have been introduced such as a midline catheter. The purpose of the present study is to assess the efficacy and the safety of midline catheters compared to the standard care being a central catheter also inserted peripherally. Patients with indication for intravenous fluids or medicines for 5 to 28 days will be included in the study.
NCT04787926
To evaluate the safety and performance of DuraLock-C 4.0%, 30.0%, and 46.7% for the maintenance of central venous catheter (CVC) patency in adult hemodialysis (HD) patients
NCT06095076
Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients are exposed to catheter-related infections with an important morbidity. Catheter colonization is constant but infection is not. Cutaneous dysbiosis could be the missing link. Our study aims to evaluate the evolution of cutaneous microbiota in ICU patients with a central venous catheter in place, through metagenomics. Our main objective is to evaluate the evolution of alpha-diversity, quantified by intra-patient variation of Shannon diversity index (a diversity index used in bacterial metagenomics).
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)
NCT05651464
The goal of this prospective interventional study is to evaluate the impact of antibiotic prophylaxis on bloodstream infections after liberation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy. The main questions aims to answer are: • does application of vancomycine prior to ECMO liberation have an impact of bloodstream infections? Participants will get 1 dose of vancomycine I.V. (15-20 mg per kgKG) prior to liberation of ECMO. Researchers will compare this interventional group to a group without antibiotic prophylaxis.
NCT05640349
The main objective of this retrospective cohort is to evaluate the impact of the first epidemic wave during lockdown on bacteremia epidemiology in one French University Hospital.
NCT03945045
To compare IJV and SCV as the implantation site of TIVAD and its associated thrombotic or occlusion rate, our study plans to enroll 240 patients with cancer who require central line TIVADs and randomizes them with 1:1 ratio to receive the TIVAD implantation at SCV or IJV. After the implantation, the patients will be regularly followed through phone contact and chart review for 2 years, and any symptomatic thrombosis or occlusion will be found during chemotherapy injection or regular push-pull heparin saline flush every 6 weeks as our hospital care protocol. To detect any asymptomatic thrombosis, the patients will also receive screening vascular ultrasound at 2 weeks, 2 months, and 6 months postoperatively. The study primary endpoints include any infection, asymptomatic thrombosis found by screen ultrasound, and clinically symptomatic thrombosis or occlusion and major mechanical failure/dislocation of TIVAD.
NCT02901717
This is a Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, open-label, assess-blind study to determine the efficacy and safety of MLT, a novel antibiotic lock therapy that combines minocycline with edetate disodium in 25% ethanol solution as an adjuctive therapy for the treatment of catheter-related or central line associated bloodstream infection (CRBSI/CLABSI). Approximately 144 subjects who have been diagnosed with CRBSI/CLABSI and who meet all necessary criteria for the study will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to 1 of 2 treatment arms: * MLT Arm: Mino-Lok therapy; or * Control Arm: Antibiotic lock (±heparin). The antibiotic lock (ALT) should be comprised of the best available therapy at the sites based on standard institutional practices or recommendations from the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines.
