Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of Midline Venous Catheters

NCT05835531 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 400

Summary

Central venous catheters are fundamental tools in medical practice, but their use carries frequent local and systemic complications, with bloodstream infection (bacteremia) and thrombus formation being the most frequent and serious. Both complications prolong hospitalization time, increase morbidity, mortality, and hospital costs. Medium access peripheral venous catheters (MC) are a low-cost, easy-to-place, and highly-durable option that offers greater patient comfort and less pain, among other advantages. The objective of this study is to determine if the implementation of a team specialized in the placement of midline (CM) catheters reduces the incidence of infections associated with central venous catheters, decreases the cost of hospitalization, and preserves venous capital in patients admitted to ICU.
