Impact of Cyanoacrylate Glue on PICC Line Dressing Care

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This study will evaluate whether applying micro drops of cyanoacrylate glue to the participant's peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) insertion site prior to covering the area of PICC line with a transparent film dressing will make the PICC dressing last longer and prevent an occurrence of PICC line moving out of its original placement. The investigators aims to evaluate whether 1) using the cyanoacrylate glue will lengthen the time to first dressing change; and 2) participants in the experimental arm (glue used) will have fewer dressing changes per week compared to the control arm (standard care) during admission.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The neonatal population poses a unique challenge due to the small surface area of PICC sites, underdeveloped skin layer, and inability to contain the child's movements during a dressing change. PICC line migration is the most common complication of PICC line maintenance in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Previous studies have found that the PICC migration/dislodgment mostly occurs during PICC dressing changes among the neonatal population. Recent published studies demonstrated that medical tissue adherence glue, Cyanoacrylate, significantly reduces the incidences of catheter migration and insertion site bleeding of PICC lines in all age of patients including premature infants. The proposed study is a randomized control study with aimed data collection of 60 participants; of the 60 participants, 50 participants' data are to be used for statistical analysis and additional 10 participants to account for withdrawals. The participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one (the control group) receiving our standard PICC dressing method and the other (the study group) receiving cyanoacrylate glue at the PICC insertion sites prior to applying a standard transparent film dressing over the PICC sites. The control group will reflect standard practice of PICC insertion and dressings using a standard transparent polyurethane film dressing, 3M TEGADERM Film. The study group will reflect the application of a few drops of cyanoacrylate glue, SecurePortIVTM by Adhezion Biomedical® at the insertion sites prior to dressing a PICC line area with a standard transparent polyurethane film dressing. The aim for this study is to investigate whether the application of cyanoacrylate glue at the insertion sites prior to dressing a PICC line area with a standard dressing will increase the longevity of the PICC line dressing and reduce the incidences of PICC line migration.

* Device: Standard transparent film dressing


Participation Criteria
=================
Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
Inclusion Criteria: All patients admitted to the 9 North intensive coronary care unit (ICCU) at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital greater than 35 weeks of corrected gestational age who have a PICC line placed by a NICU provider. Exclusion Criteria: Any patient with a PICC line in situ from an outside hospital. Any patient with a PICC line placed by an outside department, namely the interventional radiology department. Any patient with a PICC line that is silicon material catheter, such as Vygon Epicutaneo-Cava catheter because of limited accuracy of measuring a movement of the catheter migration after 25 centimeter mark due to absence of a centimeter mark on the catheter.

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Duration of longevity of PICC line dressing | Duration of longevity defined as the number of days the PICC line dressing lasts from the scheduled dressing change. | Up to 7 days | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| PICC line migration incidences | The incidence of PICC line migration defined as a change in the length of catheter extruding from the insertion site - a catheter migration of more than 0.25 cm will be counted as an incidence. | Until PICC line removal (approximately 12 weeks) |
