UNASSIGNED: This single-centre, prospective, observational study aimed to gather information about the length of time central line lumens remain in a locked state in the average critical care patient. Baseline rates of various central line complications were also tracked.
UNASSIGNED: Results of this study indicate that the majority of central lines will have at least one lumen locked for an average of 36.6% of their time in situ.
UNASSIGNED: It is anticipated that this length of time provides enough exposure for alternative locking solutions to potentially make a difference in central line complications in this patient population. Results of this study can be used for planning future multi-centre, randomized controlled trials investigating the efficacy of novel central line locking solutions to prevent central line complications in critically ill patients.
未经评估:这种单中心,prospective,观察性研究旨在收集有关重症监护患者平均中心线管腔处于锁定状态的时间长度的信息。还跟踪了各种中心线并发症的基线率。
UNASSIGNED:这项研究的结果表明,大多数中心线将至少有一个管腔锁定,平均其原位时间为36.6%。
UNASSIGNED:预计该时间长度为替代锁定解决方案提供了足够的暴露量,从而可能在该患者人群中的中心线并发症中发挥作用。这项研究的结果可用于规划未来的多中心,随机对照试验研究了新型中央线锁定解决方案预防危重患者中央线并发症的功效。
