What is the frequency of non-central venous catheter-related venous thrombosis in paediatric intensive care patients?

Frequency of and risk factors for non-central venous catheter-related venous thrombosis in paediatric intensive care patients.

Sponsor

Andreas Andersson

Enrollment

150 participants

Start Date

Apr 20, 2015

Study Type

Observational

Conditions

Venous thrombosis in children

Summary

The insertion of a central venous catheter is considered to be the greatest risk factor for venous thrombosis in children. However, the frequency of non-central venous catheter-related venous thrombosis in pediatric intensive care patients has not previously been described. We aim to investigate the frequency of non-central venous catheter-related venous thrombosis in pediatric intensive care patients, and describe associated risk factors and short term complications.

Eligibility

Sex: Both males and femalesMax Age: 18 Yearss

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is looking at how often children in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) develop blood clots in their veins that are not caused by a central venous catheter (a large IV line). It will also look at risk factors for these clots and any short-term complications. You may be eligible if: - Your child is a patient in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) - A parent or guardian has provided informed consent - Your child is under 18 years of age You may NOT be eligible if: - Informed consent has not been obtained - Death is considered imminent and inevitable for the child Talk to your doctor about whether this trial might be right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.

Interventions

Observational study. The primary outcome of the study is the frequency of non-central venous catheter-related venous thrombosis in paediatric intensive care patients at Astrid Lindgrens Children´s

Observational study. The primary outcome of the study is the frequency of non-central venous catheter-related venous thrombosis in paediatric intensive care patients at Astrid Lindgrens Children´s Hospital. All paediatric intensive care patients at Astrid Lindgrens Children´s Hospital will be included in the study. Blood sampling for coagulation tests will be obtained at PICU admission and discharge. Patients will be followed for clinical signs of non-CVC-related venous thrombosis during the time in PICU. Ultrasonography will be used to detect asymptomatic thrombosis at the time of PICU discharge. Patients will be followed until hospital discharge. Patients that develop non-CVC-related thrombosis will be followed until the end of treatment.
