A survey about managing PICC lines for nutrition
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how hospitals take care of PICC lines, which are tubes that deliver nutrition directly into your blood. If you already have one, your experience can help doctors learn the best practices for preventing infections and other problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a PICC line (a soft tube placed in a vein in your arm) put in.
- The PICC line is being used to give you nutrition directly into your vein (called parenteral nutrition).
- You are willing to take part in a research study.
- You can speak French and have a phone for follow-up contact.

This study looks at ways to reduce problems that can happen with a type of long-term IV line called a PICC line. It is for people who are independent and able to care for themselves, and it aims to make managing the line safer and easier.
This study looks at ways to reduce problems (like infections or blockages) that can happen with a PICC line, a thin tube placed in a vein to give medicine or fluids. If you are independent and will have your PICC for at least two weeks, this research may help you get safer care.
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 study tests a catheter lock solution called DefenCath (taurolidine and heparin) against a standard heparin lock to see if it reduces central line bloodstream infections in people receiving IV nutrition (total parenteral nutrition) for more than 3 months.
This study compares two different methods for placing a PICC line, a type of long-term IV catheter. It aims to find which method is more comfortable and effective for patients needing this catheter.
This trial looks at how nutrition is given to children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), especially for those who stay longer than 3 days. The goal is to find better ways to support their recovery.
