Oman315 participantsStarted 2024-07-21

Plain-language summary

This project aims to identify catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) and determine its incidence, associated factors, and outcomes. The eligible patients will undergo daily ultrasound just distal to the central venous catheter insertion site for CRT. A staff radiologist will review all positive cases. These cases will be monitored by daily ultrasound examination till three days after the removal of the catheter or till the patient stays in the intensive care unit (ICU). The patient demographics, ICU treatment details, and outcomes will be noted. The data will be then analyzed. A preventive strategy will be prepared and disseminated to the department personnel to improve the quality of care.
