U.S., Dec. 3 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07258862) titled 'Analysis of Microbial Biofilms in Peripheral Venous Catheters and Their Implication in Infectious Risk' on Nov. 21.
Brief Summary: Peripheral venous catheters (PVCs) are the most commonly used intravascular medical devices in healthcare establishments. Although essential in patient care, PVCs represent a significant risk factor for nosocomial infections, as shown by the results of the national prevalence survey.
