An interventional study of insert catheter in Antimicrobial, sponsored by Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital. Completed at 1 site in China. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-04-29.
Sponsored by Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This study applies long PIVCs to patients undergoing antimicrobial therapy, and compares the effects of different placement sites, aiming to provide a reference basis for patients undergoing antimicrobial treatment to select the optimal placement site, thus reducing complications, prolonging catheter retention time, and alleviating the patient's pain.
This study investigates the use of long PIVCs in patients undergoing antimicrobial therapy, and compares the effects of different insertion sites. The aim is to provide evidence-based recommendations for the optimal placement site for long PIVCs in antimicrobial treatment, with the goals of reducing complications, prolonging catheter retention time, and alleviating patient discomfort.
Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital is the lead sponsor of 123 studies on the registry; 64 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
①Evaluation: The puncture site was determined by senior nurses based on group assignment before placement. The depth and diameter of the pre-punctured vein were measured using ultrasound assessment, and the intima of the pre-punctured vein was examined without applying a tourniquet. ②Catheterization: A 3 Fr, 8 cm tip-opened long PIVC was used. Catheters were placed according to the designated sites for each group using ultrasound-guided and accelerated Seidinger techniques. After confirming catheter placement, needleless connectors and extension were attached, and the catheter was secured without tension using a sterile transparent dressing. ③Maintenance: Specialized nurses were trained to monitor and evaluate catheter function daily. Clinical nurses conducted routine maintenance until the study completion. Daily data were recorded and updated in computerized records.
Device: insert catheter

Device: insert catheter
A fixed routine for pre-insertion cleaning and equipment was followed, including hand washing, placing the patient in a recumbent position, skin antisepsis, and preparation of the sterile field. Catheter insertion was performed by senior specialized nurses in the intravenous treatment room, which was a standardized setting for venipuncture.
Incidence of catheter-related complications
Catheter-related complications were assessed including thrombophlebitis, other phlebitis, catheter occlusion, bleeding, catheter-related infections, and weeping.
Time frame: After insertion of catheter
Puncture success rate with one-attempt
The puncture success rate with one-attempt refers to the instance where the puncture needle successfully enters the target vein on the first attempt without needing to change the puncture site.
Time frame: After insertion of catheter
The procedure time
The procedure time is defined as the duration from the start of skin disinfection to the stabilization of the catheter with dressing.
Time frame: After insertion of catheter.
Indwelling catheter duration
The Indwelling catheter duration refers to the number of days between the date of catheter placement and its removal.
Time frame: After insertion of catheter
Plan to share: No
