Upper-arm superficial vein thrombosis with catheter-related bloodstream infection in PICC or midline catheters

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The trial examines the frequency and clinical impact of superficial vein thrombosis in the upper limb among adults with catheter-related bacteremia from PICC lines or midlines. It follows patients during their hospital stay to observe occurrence of SVT and its relation to infection duration and management. The study uses routine Doppler ultrasound and clinical data to describe outcomes in this setting. No intervention beyond standard follow-up for catheter-related bacteremia is described. Results could inform whether SVT should influence treatment decisions in catheter-associated infections.
