Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of the effectiveness of cefazolin-heparin lock and ethanol-heparin lock on the persistence and site infection catheters in hemodialysis patients
Design
This clinical trial with two intervention groups, double-blind, randomized, was performed on 80 patients.
Settings and conduct
This study is in the field of prevention of infection and increasing the shelf life of hemodialysis catheter. The study population consists of all hemodialysis patients with hemodialysis catheters. Blinding in this study includes a statistical evaluator and a nurse blocking solutions. Solutions in both study groups are blocked at the end of each hemodialysis session in patients' catheters. Until the next hemodialysis session, these solutions remain in the catheters. In the next hemodialysis, the patient is first evaluated for signs of infection. The blocked solution is then aspirated from the catheters and hemodialysis is started.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Informed consent Referral and introduction of the patient by the physician Age over 18 years
Intervention groups
ethanol-heparin lock group cefazoline-heparin lock group
Main outcome variables
-It is a cost-effective method compared to similar methods. -Reduce infection and increase catheter longevity. -Prevent wasting effective hemodialysis time and thus increase life expectancy in patients.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In this study, a simple and individual random method was used. In this way, based on the sample size of the study and using the table of random number allocation, 80 codes from number one to eighty were assigned to patients (Randomized Allocation). Then the patients were randomly assigned to two intervention groups. ELT (Ethanol lock therapy) expression was considered for ethanol block group and ALT(Antibiotic lock therapy) expression was considered for cefazolin block group. Finally, after the researcher referred to the hemodialysis center, the eligible patients were assigned to two intervention groups based on the order of randomized codes.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)

Intervention groups

1

Description
ethanol-heparin block group: In the ethanol-heparin block group, participants received routine and standardized care after the end of the hemodialysis process, which included rinsing the catheter lumens with normal saline. Finally, the ethanol-heparin block solution with a ratio of 2 (ethanol) to 1 (heparin) was blocked by a research colleague according to the volume of catheter lumens. It should be noted that the volume of the catheter lumens is about 3CC. The solution remains in the catheter until the next visit. At the next visit before hemodialysis, first evaluate the patient, including weight control and blood pressure by the researcher and complete the checklist for catheter infection according to the CDC criteria, which includes redness, tenderness, hardening of the catheter tissue about 2 cm, presence Or the absence of fever was done by the researcher and the ward manager. The blocked solution is then aspirated and hemodialysis is started.

Description
cefazolin lock group: In the cephazolin-heparin block group, after the end of the hemodialysis process, they received routine and standard care, which included rinsing the catheter lumens with normal saline, then cefazolin-heparin block solution with a ratio of 2 (cefazolin) to 1 (heparin). Was ready, Due to the lumen volume, the catheter was blocked by a research colleague. It should be noted that the volume of the catheter lumens is about 3CC. The solution remains in the catheter until the next visit. At the next visit before hemodialysis, the patient first evaluates the patient, including weight control and blood pressure, and completes a checklist for catheter infection according to the CDC criteria, which includes redness, tenderness, and hard The tissue of the catheter site is about 2 cm, the presence or absence of fever, was done by the researcher and the ward manager. Then the blocked solution is aspirated and hemodialysis is started. The solution remains in the catheter until the next visit. At the next visit before hemodialysis, first evaluate the patient, including weight control and blood pressure by the researcher and complete the checklist for catheter infection according to the CDC criteria, which includes redness, tenderness, hardening of the catheter tissue about 2 cm, presence Or the absence of fever was done by the researcher and the ward manager.
