A new central venous catheter (CVC) complete set saves time and reduces costs. This set features an ECG guide wire lead and adhesive fixation, offering improved CVC placement and reliability compared to standard sets.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Devices
  • Clinical Engineering
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Central venous catheter (CVC) insertion often requires supplementary materials not included in standard kits.
  • This can lead to increased preparation time, costs, and potential for procedural delays.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the economic and clinical advantages of a novel CVC complete set.
  • This set includes an ECG guide wire lead and adhesive fixation, compared to a standard set requiring additional materials and suture fixation.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial involving 76 adult surgical patients compared a test CVC complete set with a control CVC set.
  • The test set featured preconnected stopcocks, sterile drapes, guide wire ECG position control, and adhesive fixation.
  • Time for preparation, puncture, ECG control, and fixation was recorded; ECG lead quality (Pmax/R ratio) and fixation reliability were assessed.

Main Results:

  • The test CVC set significantly reduced total procedure time by 6 minutes (P < 0.01).
  • Guide wire ECG control was more successful (97% vs. 89%) and of higher quality (Pmax/R ratio 0.8 vs. 0.5) than fluid column lead.
  • Adhesive fixation was reliable (mean duration 6.2 days) and cost reduction was significant due to integrated disposables.

Conclusions:

  • The CVC complete set offers significant time and cost savings for central venous catheterization.
  • Guide wire ECG control is superior in time efficiency and signal quality compared to fluid column ECG.
  • Adhesive fixation is a reliable alternative to surgical sutures for CVCs.
