Comparison of an Antibiotic Impregnated PICC Catheter Versus a Regular PICC Catheter in a Tertiary Care Setting

Withdrawn before enrolling · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters

In brief

To determine whether antibiotic impregnated PICC catheters have a lower infection rate than a conventional PICC catheter in a tertiary care patient population. Secondary goals will be to determine if there is a difference between the two catheters with early and late infections, to determine the cost comparison including extra cost of treatment for a line related infection, to determine if there are any non-infectious related complication differences between the two catheters.
