Catheter Early Withdrawal or Maintenance in Sepsis or Septic Shock

NCT01947751 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 100

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Central venous catheter(CVC)-related infection is an inherent complication of this device that should be treated promptly. However, there are doubts about the need for the immediate withdrawal of CVC while there is still no confirmation of such infection. The aim of this study is to compare the resolution of CVC-related infection, testing two approaches: catheter´s early exchange, when the possibility of related sepsis is considered, versus the maintenance of the CVC and early antibiotic therapy until the infection is confirmed.
