Abstract
Background
Use of central venous access devices (CVADs) has been plagued by various adverse events, including central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI), inadvertent dislocation, exit-site haemorrhage, and local infection.
Aim
To investigate whether tissue adhesive (TA, 2-octyl blended with n-butyl cyanoacrylate) application to centrally/femorally inserted central catheter (CICC/FICC) exit sites could reduce the occurrence of CLABSI.
Methods
This retrospective review with historical controls was conducted in three tertiary care institutions. The TA group was established from December 2021 to July 2022 with the simultaneous initiation of TA application to the exit site of CICCs/FICCs. Patients in the control group received CICCs/FICCs before TA application between February 2021 and November 2021. Adverse event rates, including CLABSI, oozing, dislocation, and skin problems, were compared between groups. Risk factors were analysed using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW)-adjusted Cox analysis.
Findings
The TA group comprised 1061 patients; the control group included 1049 patients. The CLABSI rate was significantly lower in the TA group (1.84 per 1000 catheter-days) compared with the control group (3.66 per 1000 catheter-days), with a rate ratio of 0.5 (95% confidence interval: 0.28–0.87; P = 0.01). The oozing rate was significantly lower (TA: 120; control: 158; P = 0.01). IPTW-adjusted analysis revealed TA as risk-reducing factor (P = 0.003), while age (P = 0.04) and triple-lumen (P = 0.04) were significant risk factors for CLABSI.
Conclusion
TA application at CICCs/FICCs exit sites could significantly lower CLABSI rates without serious adverse events.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Hospital Infection is the editorially independent scientific publication of the Healthcare Infection Society. The aim of the Journal is to publish high quality research and information relating to infection prevention and control that is relevant to an international audience.
The Journal welcomes submissions that relate to all aspects of infection prevention and control in healthcare settings. This includes submissions that:
provide new insight into the epidemiology, surveillance, or prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial resistance in healthcare settings;
provide new insight into cleaning, disinfection and decontamination;
provide new insight into the design of healthcare premises;
describe novel aspects of outbreaks of infection;
throw light on techniques for effective antimicrobial stewardship;
describe novel techniques (laboratory-based or point of care) for the detection of infection or antimicrobial resistance in the healthcare setting, particularly if these can be used to facilitate infection prevention and control;
improve understanding of the motivations of safe healthcare behaviour, or describe techniques for achieving behavioural and cultural change;
improve understanding of the use of IT systems in infection surveillance and prevention and control.
