Effectiveness of Cyanoacrylate Glue in the Fixation of Midline and Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters in Hospitalized Adult Patients: Randomised Clinical Trial (CIANO-ETI)

Detailed Summary

Introduction: Venous access is increasingly necessary and essential in healthcare institutions, where more than 75% of hospitalised patients have some type of vascular access device cannulated. Due to their pathophysiological characteristics and pharmacological needs, some patients require special catheters, such as midline or peripherally inserted central catheters. In an attempt to reduce the main complications related to these, the safety of cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive has recently been demonstrated in the post-insertion treatment of vascular access devices. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the use of cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive as fixation in the post-insertion of cannulated middle and central venous catheters with modified micro-Seldinger technique in acute hospitalized patients. Methods: Randomised clinical trial with two groups(1:1): control and intervention. The control group received a cure with sutureless device plus transparent membrane and the intervention group received the same cure plus the cyanoacrylate glue. The study was approved by the Drug Research Ethics Committee of the Lleida health region. health region. KEYWORDS: Cyanoacrylates; Vascular Access Device; Catheterization, Peripheral; Nursing Care; Randomized Controlled Trial.
