Brief summary

The goal of this clinical trial study is to compare the effectiveness between split septum and mechanical valve needleless connector in very preterm babies (or under 1500 grams) The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the incidence of Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections when using a split septum connector? * What is the incidence of Central Line-Associated Bloodstream Infections when using a mechanical valve connector? * What is the ratio length of stay between babies with birth weight \< 1500 grams who use split septum connector and mechanical valve? * What is the ratio incidence of mortality due to sepsis of babies with birth weight \< 1500 grams who use split septum connector and mechanical valve? Participants will be observed for two weeks after insertion of central line. They will be taken blood sample for culture and sepsis marker panel. Researchers will compare split septum group and mechanical valve group to see if there is a central line associated bloodstream infections

Interventions

DEVICESplit septum needleless connector

Participants in this study are limited to very preterm neonates or neonates with birth weight under 1500 grams. Split septum mechanism is still widely use in Indonesia, therefore the use of mechanical valve mechanism as needleless connector for central line access in very preterm neonates have never been tested.

DEVICEMechanical valve needleless connector

Participants in this study are limited to very preterm neonates or neonates with birth weight under 1500 grams. Split septum mechanism is still widely use in Indonesia, therefore the use of mechanical valve mechanism as needleless connector for central line access in very preterm neonates have never been tested.

Intervention model description

This study involves two group of participants to receive specific intervention. One of the group will be using split septum mechanism for their needleless connector, while the other group will use mechanical valve mechanism for their needleless connector. Both group will be assessed and monitored closely for the incidence of infection

Inclusion criteria

* Preterm neonates with gestational age less than and equal to 32 weeks * Birth weight less than 1500 gram * Neonates indicated to use central line access * Parents are willing to participate in this study and has filled and signed the informed consent letter

Exclusion criteria

* Neonates who are previously diagnosed as CLABSI * Neonates who has other focus of infection that are diagnosed before the recruitment * Suffer from congenital abnormalities

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of Central Line Associated Bloodstream Infection (CLABSI)From the date of central line insertion until the date of documented infection, whichever came first, assessed up to 30 daysThe incidence of CLABSI are proven by clinical symptoms followed by positive blood culture taken at two different site, consist of peripheral and central site

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Length of stayFrom the date of admission until the date of discharged or death, which ever comes first, assessed up to 100 daysThe duration which the subject is hospitalized
CLABSI-related mortalityFrom the date of central line insertion until the date of death, assessed up to 30 daysIncidence of death because of sepsis in CLABSI participant
All-cause mortalityFrom the date of admission until the date of death, assessed up to 100 daysIncidence of death in all participant
Central line daysFrom the date of central line insertion until the date of death, discharge, or maximum duration of 14 days, whichever comes firstThe duration of central line insertion
Hospitalization costFrom the date of admission until the date of death or discharge, whichever comes first, assessed up to 100 daysThe total cost of hospitalization in each participant
