Peripherally InSerted CEntral catheter dressing and securement in patients with cancer: the PISCES trial. protocol for a 2x2 factorial, superiority randomised controlled trial.
The researchers designed this trial to assess the clinical and cost-effectiveness of dressing and securements to prevent peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) failure. For the dressing hypothesis, they hypothesize (chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) discs will reduce catheter-associated bloodstream infection (CABSI) compared with no CHG disc. For the securement hypothesis, they hypothesize that integrated securement dressing will reduce composite PICC failure (infection (CABSI/local infection), occlusion, dislodgement or thrombosis), compared with securement device.
