Brief Summary

Intravenous catheters have become one of the indispensable tools of modern medicine. Peripheric intravenous catheters facilitate the work of healthcare professionals in the treatment phase, especially in diagnostic procedures. Intravenous catheters cause microorganisms to enter the bloodstream by damaging the skin, which is the body's first defense barrier. In this case, it causes infections, sepsis, an increase in mortality and morbidity rates, prolongation of hospital stay, increase in antibiotic use, and medical expenses. The density of the skin flora in the area where the catheter will be inserted is a major risk factor for infection.To prevent complications associated with peripheric intravenous catheters; Performing the procedure in line with the principles of surgical asepsis and following the correct follow-up are among the most important measures that the nurse should take. Also, the child and the parents should be prepared for the procedure and the appropriate environment should be provided. Along with correct catheter placement and care, antisepsis of the cannula placement area is among the indicators of nursing care. As well as the effectiveness and safety of skin disinfectants, topical absorption, lack of toxic effect, local and irritation effect are also important. Solutions with 5% NaHCO3 have recently come to the fore as antiseptic agents. When the literature is examined, it has not been found that there are very few studies on this solution and it is used in skin antisepsis before peripheral intravenous catheterization in children. This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental design to determine the effectiveness of 5% NaHCO3 water solution in catheter site cleaning in pediatric patients by comparing it with the most commonly used antiseptic agents and to monitor the development of catheter-related infections.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The effectiveness of the solutions - In-vitro analysis

    Effectiveness in the laboratory: The efficacy of the solutions on the most common bacteria on the skin was tested in the laboratory. Analysis of solutions to be used in Laboratory Environment (In vitro): 5% NaHCO3 water solution, 2% KHG solution and 70% Alcohol solution to be used in the catheterization process were studied in the laboratory with the microbiologist in the blood, Müller Hinton agar with disk diffusion method. The diameter of the discs used is 9 mm. Microorganisms are clinical isolates. As a result, they are the inhibition zones recorded.

    One months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • The effectiveness of the solutions - Practice

    Five months

Other Outcomes (12)

  • Efficacy and Safety: Vital signs - Body temperature

    Twelve hours, 15 minutes, 2 repeated measurements

  • Efficacy and Safety: Vital signs- Heart rate

    Twelve hours, 15 minutes, 2 repeated measurements

  • Efficacy and Safety: Vital Signs - Blood pressure

    Twelve hours, 15 minutes, 2 repeated measurements

  • +9 more other outcomes
