Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Summary
Brief summary
IVD insertion is the most common invasive healthcare procedure with approximately 14 million IVDs used in Australia each year. IVDs alone are inadequate to deliver most therapy and require connection to an administration set. These IVD administration sets (AS) refer to infusion systems comprised of some or all of: tubing, fluid containers, pressure monitoring transducers, blood sampling ports, measuring burettes and extension tubing. IVDs and their AS break the natural defence barrier of the skin, and are the single most important cause of healthcare acquired blood stream infection (BSI). Most IVD's are replaced every 3 -4 days , however preliminary research suggests routine replacement of AS every 4 days costs Australia about $1 billion annually, and some studies suggest 7 day use would reduce costs with no threat to patient safety.
