Scientific titleCentral venous catheter use in paediatric oncology patients in the UK: mechanical problems
Study objectivesAdded 07/08/2009:
The aim of this trial is to determine the optimum technique for ensuring central venous catheters are not subject to mechanical failure (eg. falling out).

As of 07/08/2009 this record was extensively updated. All updates can be found under the relevant field with the above update date.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMiscellaneous paediatric cancer
Intervention1. Group A: Skin only exit site suture on central venous catheter
2. Group B: Skin and line exit site suture on central venous catheter
Mechanical problems include dislodgment and migration documented in the post operative period.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureAdded 07/08/09:
1. Mechanical failure rate.
2. Correlation with exit suture type and whether additional procedures (eg. bone marrow, lumbar puncture) are undertaken at the same anaesthetic as the central venous line insertion.
Secondary outcome measuresNot provided at time of registration
