Innovative Central Line Securement Device in the Pediatric Population
July 1, 2024 updated by: Ryan St. Pierre-Hetz
Innovative Central Line Securement Device: Line Complications and Quality of Life in the Pediatric Population as Compared to Traditional Securement Device
This study involves evaluating pediatric patients with central lines to determine differences in line complications and quality of life in those with a novel central line securement device (wrap) as compared to those who use a traditional securement device (dressing).

Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Children with central lines experience line breaks, line dislodgment's and line infections as a result of traditional securement techniques (dressings).
These issues lead to the patients' increased health care utilization and possibly to restriction of movement and delayed development as the children are restricted in their home environment.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a wearable central line securement device, can decrease the number of line breaks, line dislodgment and line infections as compared to traditional securement techniques.
Events per month would be calculated for each arm before and after intervention and analyzed for treatment effect.
The hypothesis is that the use of this wearable central line securement device can reduce line breaks, line dislodgment and line infections as compared to the traditional adhesive dressing.
A secondary outcome for evaluation will be quality of life.
This will be analyzed with a standardized quality of life survey and treatment effect will be reported as an ordinal odds ratio.
Children are naturally active, however their activity is restricted by the parents given the delicate nature of their line.
This study looks to see if quality of life can be improved a more secure wearable attachment device, as compared to traditional securement techniques.

Participation Criteria
Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study
1 second to 18 years (Child, Adult)
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
No
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients with a central line ages 0-18 years old who have never worn a wearable central line securement device (vest) will be eligible for the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Those children who currently wear a central line securement device (vest)
- Children with central lines who are 19 years or older
- Those females with central lines and Tanner 2 breast or greater breast development as a wearable central line securement device (vest) will not fit properly to secure the central line and may increase the risk of the central line complications.
- If the patient does develop breast during the time of the study then the patient will no longer wear the wrap and will go back to securing their device in the traditional way. The investgators will still collect data on that patient and they will be evaluated in the device arm consistent with the intention to treat principle.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
|---|---|
|
Experimental: Device
Those in the device arm will be given two wearable central line securement devices and the investigators will encourage continuous wear throughout the duration of the study.
|
The wearable central line securement device is a vest that has attachments for the central line to safely be secured to the body whether it is being used for infusion or unhooked.
It also has a front flap, which protects the line from snagging on external objects.
All subjects will use sterile dressings throughout the trial as this is the standard of care for central line securement.
Subjects randomized to the dressing arm will continue to use standard of care sterile dressing as the only form of central line securement.
|
|
Active Comparator: Traditional Securement Dressing
Those is the non-device arm will continue to wear a traditional central line securement dressing as is the standard of care.

How Has the Vest or Dressing Affected Your Ability as a Family to Participate in Daily Activities?
Time Frame: Responses were recorded every Thursday follow up appointment, save for holidays between January 2021 and September 2022. The maximum number of responses of a participant was 5 over a maximum of 12 months.
|
Survey modified from Baxter Scale of Quality of Life.
These surveys were completed by family members or patients.
Responses were recorded as a likert scale from 1-5 with 1 being much worse, 5 being much better.
Quality of life data was recorded using ordinal scales.
Therefore, we compared responses to individual questions between the dressing group and vest group using ordinal logistic regression, adjusting for clustering of responses within a participant.
We present the mean and standard deviation for all responses as well as the ordinal odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals for a unit change in response level for each question.

How Has Your Child's Quality-of-life Been Affected by Their Underlying Illness?
Time Frame: Responses were recorded every Thursday follow up appointment, save for holidays between January 2021 and September 2022. The maximum number of responses of a participant was 5 over a maximum of 12 months.
|
Survey modified from Baxter Scale of Quality of Life.
These surveys were completed by family members or patients.
Responses were recorded as a likert scale from -5 to 5 with -5 being very bad, 5 being very well.
Quality of life data was recorded using ordinal scales.
Therefore, we compared responses to individual questions between the dressing group and vest group using ordinal logistic regression, adjusting for clustering of responses within a participant.
We present the mean and standard deviation for all responses as well as the ordinal odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals for a unit change in response level for each question.
