Catheter Bacteraemia, Catheter Blockage, Catheter Complications, Catheter-Related Infections, Catheter Site Discomfort, Catheter Thrombosis, Vascular Access Complication
Conditions
Brief summary
Primary objective of the study is to establish the incidence of all any catheter related complications in BIP CVC and standard CVC groups in patients requiring CVC. (CVC - Central Venous Catheter; BIP - Bactiguard Infection Protection)
Detailed description
Catheter related complications include CRBSI, CRI, Local CVC infection, need to exchange of CVC due to suspected CRI/CRBSI or thrombosis, stop / slower flow in any CVC lumen, local thrombosis, device malfunctions / technical catheter problems, device related adverse events. (CRBSI - Catheter Related Blood Stream Infection; CRI - Catheter Related Infection)
Interventions
Central venous access with noble metal coated CVC
Central venous access with standard uncoated CVC
Sponsors
