Conditions
Brief summary
Treatment today is unthinkable without vascular access devices for the management of patients. CVADs are essential for the administration of intravenous medications and blood sampling. This registry will collect information about the patients requiring CVADs, the type of CVADs being inserted, any complications experienced and the reasons for removal. The registry will provide clinicians and researchers with first-hand information about CVADs for patients receiving treatment and over time will increase our understanding of the complications associated with CVADs. The CVAD Registry will provide clinicians and researchers with an increased understanding of device failure, therefore improving clinical outcomes for patients with CVADs. The CVAD Registry will prospectively collect clinical data on device characteristics, adverse outcomes and risk factors. The Registry will: 1. Store existing clinical data pertaining to patients with CVADs in one database. 2. Facilitate quality improvement and research projects about patients with CVADs.
Interventions
The CVAD Registry is designed to capture information relevant to CVAD insertion, management and outcomes for patients receiving in-patient and out-patient treatment. The Registry will collate data that is currently collected within multiple departments and store it in a single database. It will enable researchers and clinicians to explore CVAD trends and examine device-related complications, as well as increase their understanding of device failure, therefore improving clinical outcomes for patients with CVADs. The CVAD Registry will prospectively collect clinical data on CVAD characteristics, adverse outcomes and risk factors. Clinical data will be collected on all patients requiring a CVAD.on or after the Registry commencement date at participating sites. Patient outcomes will be monitored through electronic medical records until the final CVAD is removed or the patient dies.
