Study summary

In this prospective clinical study, the researchers investigate the incidence of catheter-related thrombosis and catheter-related infection during indwelling central venous catheterization in critically ill patients, and analyzed the risk factors for catheter-related complications and the relationship between catheter-related thrombi and catheter-related infections. The sample size is about 500.

Read the detailed description

A prospective clinical trial is conducted. Five hundred participants who need to place central venous catheters admit to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Zhujiang Hospital,Southern Medical University from February 2019. Ultrasound is used for screening catheter-related thrombosis, and catheter-related infections are diagnosed according to the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infections. The primary outcome is the incidence of catheter-related thrombosis and catheter-related infections. The primary exposure factors are age, gender, APACHE II, RBC, Hct, PLT, FIB, D-dimer, PCT, blood glucose, anticoagulants, and vasoactive drugs, catheter type, tube placement, indwelling time, etc. Descriptive analysis is used for the incidence of various complications. T-test or non-parametric statistical test is used for single factor analysis of risk factors, chi-square test or Fisher's exact probability test is used for counting data. Multivariate analysis of risk factors and the relationship between complications are analyzed by logistic regression. Statistical analysis is performed with SPSS Statistics version 20.
