Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Catheter related infection is a frequent and life threatening event in ICU. A chlorhexidine impregnated sponge has been proven to reduce the rate of major catheter related infections in ICU patients (HR=0.39, p=0.03) (Timsit Jama 2009). However, dressings are detached in 40% of cases before planned changes and the rate of unplanned dressing is significantly associated with the major catheter related infections.

Primary objective: To demonstrate that Tegaderm CHG, a new CHG impregnated dressing decrease the rate of major catheter related infection as compared to non impregnated dressings and to demonstrate that highly adhesive dressing decrease the rate of detached dressings.

Secondary objectives:
  • To demonstrate that the use of high performance dressing decrease the rate of unstuck dressing and the rate of catheter infections.

  • To evaluate the tolerance of CHG impregnated gel dressings (Tegaderm CHG).

  • To calculate the cost saving of each dressings

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

Phase 4

Detailed Description

Inclusion criteria: Patients older than 18 years old with central venous who need a central vein and/or an arterial catheter for an expected duration of more than 48 hours.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Risk of major catheter infection between Group 1 and Group 2+3 assessed by an independent blind expert panel [48 hours after catheter removal or ICU discharge (10 days on average)]

      The patients were followed 48h after catheter removal or discharge. Average follow up of 10 days.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. dressing detachment : rate of unplanned dressing between Tegaderm CHG, Tegaderm HP and Tegaderm [until catheter removal or ICU discharge (8 days on average)]

    2. Comparison of Group 1 to group 2+3 : catheter colonization, CR-BSI, cutaneous colonization at catheter removal, cost [48 hours after catheter removal or ICU discharge (10 days on average)]
