Clinical Trial: Efficacy and Safety of Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheters

U.S., Sept. 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07834996) titled 'Efficacy and Safety of Peripherally Inserted Central Venous Catheters' on Sept. 17.

Brief Summary: Central venous access is critical for administering intravenous medications, parenteral nutrition, and fluid therapy in intensive care units (ICUs). Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) provide an alternative to traditional centrally placed catheters, but they can be associated with complications such as blood clots (thrombosis), catheter-related infections, and mechanical blockages. The primary purpose of this study is to assess the procedural efficacy, functional lifespan, and complication rates of ultrasound-guided PICCs...
