Study aim
-
Evaluation of the effect of using antibiotic locker simultaneously with systemic antibiotic treatment on increasing catheter retention in hemodialysis patients with the possibility of catheter infection
-
Design
-
Randomized clinical trial, with control group, with parallel groups, one-way blind, phase 3 on 60 patients. For randomization, the blocking method was performed with sealedenvelope.com online software and the sealed envelope concealment method was performed.
-
Settings and conduct
-
Sixty patients undergoing hemodialysis suspected of catheter infection referred to Amir Al-Momenin Hospital in Arak are randomly divided into control and intervention groups.The control group received standard treatment for catheter infection and premi-cath lock was routinely performed using heparin. The intervention group received standard treatment for catheter infection and permi-cath lock was performed using a hand-made solution containing antibiotics and heparin. Blinding is one-way blind and only patients are not aware of the study groups and patients' permi-cath will be lock in both groups using a colorless solution with equal volume.

Intervention groups
-
