Comparison of Short-term Application of Dialysis Catheter With Tunnel-cuffed Catheter Versus Non-ccuffed Catheter: a Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study

Study comparing tunneled vs. non-tunneled dialysis catheters.

Recruiting
18 years and older
All
Phase N/A
Study Summary: This study investigates two types of dialysis catheters: *tunnel-cuffed* (a catheter with a protective tunnel and cuff) and *non-cuffed* (a simpler catheter without these features). Both are used in people needing hemodialysis, a treatment that cleans the blood when kidneys can't. The study looks at the rates of infection and other issues with each type. Eligibility: To join, you must be 18 years or older and need dialysis through the *right internal jugular vein* (a vein in the neck) because of conditions like *uremia* (a buildup of waste in the blood) or *AKI* (acute kidney injury). You cannot join if you have a history of vein problems, use other types of catheters, or take certain medications.
  • The study involves comparing two catheter types for a short period.
  • You must be on regular hemodialysis and meet specific health criteria.
  • The study aims to see which catheter type has fewer complications.
Considerations: This study might help find a safer catheter option, but it requires regular dialysis and meeting health criteria.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
