| Research Abstract |
We have investigated the efficacy of a protection cap for a needleless injection device in preventing intraluminal catheter contamination, compared with a conventional 3-way stopcock. Adult patients requiring an intravascular catheter placement for at least 48 hours in an intensive care unit were randomly assigned to receive either the needleless injection device with protection cap (test group) or with a conventional 3-way stopcock (comparator group). We examined the incidence of bacterial contamination of each group. The incidence of bacterial contamination was significantly different between the groups (test group 1.3% vs comparator group 6.2%, p-0.04). The protection cap for needleless injection devices decreased microbial transfer from the injection port to the intraluminal fluid pathway and lowered the risk of catheter-related bloodstream infections.
