Chlorhexidine-Impregnated Sponge Dressing: A Clinical Trial (CISDCT)

May 11, 2016 updated by: Amanda Salles Margatho, University of Sao Paulo

Use of Chlorhexidine-gel-Impregnated Dressing Compared to Transparent Polyurethane Film Dressing as Coverage of the Site of Insertion of Central Venous Catheter, in the Evaluation of Catheter Colonization in Critically Ill Adults Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this study is to compare the use of chlorhexidine-gel-impregnated dressing and the transparent polyurethane film dressing as coverage of the site of insertion of central venous catheter, in the evaluation of catheter colonization in critically ill adults patients.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Catheter Colonization
Time Frame: Participants will be followed from placement until the withdraw of the central venous catheter, an expected average of 3 weeks.
With aseptic technique, the central venous catheter will be withdrawn and a 5 centimeters distal portion of the catheter will be cut and conditioned in sterile test tube and sent to the microbiology laboratory. It will be considered a Catheter Colonization a significant growth of one or more microorganism in a semiquantitative culture of the catheter tip. It is according to the Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis and management of Intravascular Catheter- Related Infection: 2009 Update by the Infectious Diseases Society of America
Participants will be followed from placement until the withdraw of the central venous catheter, an expected average of 3 weeks.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Microbiological Exit site Infection
Time Frame: Participants will be followed from placement until the withdraw of central venous catheter, an expected average of 3 weeks
With aseptic technique, a swab will be collected before removal of central venous catheter, the swab will be moistened with sterile saline and rolled for about 2 cm around the exit site. The material will be conditioned in sterile test tube and sent to the microbiology laboratory. It will be considered a Microbiological Exit Site Infection the exudate at catheter exit site yields a microorganism. According to Clinical Practice Guideline for Diagnosis and Management of intravascular Catheter-Related Infection: 2009 Update by the Infectious Diseases Society of America
Participants will be followed from placement until the withdraw of central venous catheter, an expected average of 3 weeks
Clinical Exit Site Infection
Time Frame: Participants will be followed from placement until the withdraw of central venous catheter, an expected average of 3 weeks
Erythema, induration, and/or tenderness within 2 cm of the catheter exit site, according to Clinical Practice Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of intravascular Catheter-Related Infection: 2009 Update by the infectious diseases Society of America.
Participants will be followed from placement until the withdraw of central venous catheter, an expected average of 3 weeks
