NCT04559334
In this research study we want to learn more about a study drug, tetrasodium sodium EDTA (Kitelock™) for maintaining the patency (blood flow) through a central venous catheter. Catheter occlusions such as blood clots have been shown to increase the risk of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI). This treatment consists of instilling a daily a dose of a solution , similar to heparin or saline lock flushes, into the catheter when it is not in use. The aim is to prevent CLABSI without increasing complications such as catheter breakage.
NCT06458231
* Review key history and clinical examination findings of cases with CLABSI. * Microbiological diagnosis and Culture sensitivity tests by automated Bact Alert and Vitek2c systems for CLABSI. * Determine antibiotic biogram of each organism isolated * Determine the prevalence of occurrence of Primary or secondary Blood stream infection, causing microorganism, and predisposing factors.
NCT05485051
Cluster randomized controlled trial comparing two bathing strategies in critically ill patients. The intervention group will receive daily bathing with chlorhexidine. The control group will receive usual care.
NCT04856878
Randomized controlled trial of the effect of a single-dose intravenous Vancomycin after catheter replacement for suspected central line-associated bloodstream infection on resolution of infection in critically ill patients.
NCT02969343
The Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) Patient Safety Learning Laboratory (PSLL) focuses on developing health information technology (HIT) tools to engage patients, family, and professional care team members in reliable identification, assessment, and reduction of patient safety threats in real-time, before they manifest in actual harm.
NCT01893060
Umbilical catheters are necessary for many infants admitted to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU)and utilized when indicated for up to 7 to 14 days. Bacterial colonization can occur at the umbilical stump and potentially lead to serious bloodstream infections (BSIs). This study is a prospective, randomized controlled feasibility trial to evaluate three types of hygiene products on umbilical line stumps, on the effect of line colonization and subsequent infections. Infants admitted to the NICU with an umbilical line(s) will be randomized into one of four study groups, three products against standard of care (no product). The three products that will be evaluated are currently being used in different capacities for skin care in the University of Virginia (UVA) NICU. The study hypothesizes that twice daily topical application of 1 or more antiseptic to the top of the umbilical stump will decrease colonization of the umbilical stump while umbilical lines are in place.
