Survey on PICC line cleaning practices for nutrition patients
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how doctors use a special cleaning solution (taurolidine) to keep PICC lines safe from infection in people who need nutrition through a vein. If you have a PICC line for nutrition, your experience could help improve care.

This study looks at ways to lower complications from a type of IV line called a PICC, which is used for long-term treatments. You may qualify if you are independent in your daily activities and can manage your own care.
This study compares different ways of inserting a PICC line (a long, thin tube that delivers medicine or nutrition directly into a large vein) to see which method is better and safer. The goal is to help patients like you have a smoother experience and fewer complications.
This trial tests a new catheter lock solution (DefenCath) to prevent infections in people who need long-term IV nutrition through a central line. It compares the study drug to a standard heparin lock, and you'll be randomly assigned to one group.
This study looks at how well a tunneled PICC (a special long-term IV line) works in adults who need it while in the hospital. It aims to see if it reduces complications compared to standard PICCs, which could mean fewer problems for you.
This study compares two different techniques for placing a special long IV catheter (PICC) in your arm. The catheter stays in place for weeks or months to deliver medications or fluids. Researchers want to see which placement method works better and causes fewer problems.
This trial tests whether a solution called KiteLock (4% EDTA) put into a special feeding line can help prevent blockages in children who need long-term nutrition through the vein. It may reduce line occlusions (blockages) and the complications they can cause.
