Study summary

Peripheral central catheter application, especially in extremely low birth weight premature babies, is an intensive care follow-up procedure. There are many clinical studies in areas such as catheter type, skin disinfection, catheter duration, catheter infection. In our practice, it was observed that premature baby was less uncomfortable, the number of trials decreased, and the change in body temperature was less with the application of hot skin disinfection in our practice. With a prospective randomized study, the investigators wanted to document their observational data scientifically.

Read the detailed description

Babies under 32 gestation week and 1250 g who are treated at level 3 NICU and need peripheral central catheter will be included in the study. In the preparation of peripheral central catheter application, skin cleaning is performed with povidone iodine in our clinic. The investigators used during the povidione iodine preparation phase after heating the bain-marie method with sterile conditions. The investigators predicted that the premature baby would have less discomfort with warm povidion iodine. To demonstrate this, it was planned to take both video recordings during the application and N-PASS evaluation by an experienced person who does not know the povidone iodine temperature used .In preparation of the catheter except the person who did povidone iodine skin cleansing, nobody knows the heat. The catheters were administered by a single experienced person. The study was designed to be unaware of the povidin iodine application temperature of the person applying the catheter and the N-PASS assessment.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    warm skin desenfection group

    Povidion iodine will be used as a skin cleanser. povidion iodine will be heated sterile to 38 degrees with a ben-mari method and its temperature will be controlled by degrees. When it reaches the appropriate degree, the skin cleaning of the baby will be done sterile.

    Other: warm group/cold group

  • No intervention
    cold skin desenfection group

    Povidion iodine will be used as a skin cleanser. povidion iodine will be used in the skin cleaning of the baby without any heating procedure.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. change feeling of pain and restlessness in premature

    Evaluation of pain score in the patient during the procedure with n-pass evaluation

    Time frame: every 10 seconds before the 5 minutes and during the procedure

Secondary outcomes

  1. protection of body temperature

    body temperature monitoring before and during the incubator with skin temperature probe

    Time frame: before 5 min, during procedure

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started May 2020 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Sep 2022, 28 months after the start.

Of 424 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Acute Pain, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 23. This study's planned 28 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 430 studies reached it within 11 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 23.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 8, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
