NCT01189682

Brief Summary

Catheter related infection is a frequent and life threatening event in ICU. A chlorhexidine impregnated sponge has been proven to reduce the rate of major catheter related infections in ICU patients (HR=0.39, p=0.03) (Timsit Jama 2009). However, dressings are detached in 40% of cases before planned changes and the rate of unplanned dressing is significantly associated with the major catheter related infections. Primary objective: To demonstrate that Tegaderm CHG, a new CHG impregnated dressing decrease the rate of major catheter related infection as compared to non impregnated dressings and to demonstrate that highly adhesive dressing decrease the rate of detached dressings. Secondary objectives:

  • To demonstrate that the use of high performance dressing decrease the rate of unstuck dressing and the rate of catheter infections.
  • To evaluate the tolerance of CHG impregnated gel dressings (Tegaderm CHG).
  • To calculate the cost saving of each dressings

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Risk of major catheter infection between Group 1 and Group 2+3 assessed by an independent blind expert panel

    The patients were followed 48h after catheter removal or discharge. Average follow up of 10 days.

    48 hours after catheter removal or ICU discharge (10 days on average)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • dressing detachment : rate of unplanned dressing between Tegaderm CHG, Tegaderm HP and Tegaderm

    until catheter removal or ICU discharge (8 days on average)

  • Comparison of Group 1 to group 2+3 : catheter colonization, CR-BSI, cutaneous colonization at catheter removal, cost

    48 hours after catheter removal or ICU discharge (10 days on average)
