Peripherally InSerted CEntral catheter Securement: the PISCES Trial

癌症治疗通常需要外周插入中心导管（PICC）用于化疗、输血、药物、流体、营养和/或血液采样。目前的PICC敷料和固定产品不能防止30%的PICC发生感染、闭塞、血栓形成或移位。新产品可以减少并发症。这项试验将测试它们的有效性，成本，舒适性和实用性，与患者，护士和医生密切合作。

Cancer treatment often requires a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) for chemotherapy, transfusions, medicines, fluids, nutrition and/or blood sampling. Current PICC dressing and securement products are not preventing the 30% of PICCs that develop infection, occlusion, thrombosis or dislodgement. New products are available that may reduce complications. This trial will test their effectiveness, costs, comfort and practicality, working closely with patients, nurses and doctors.
