Massive study aims to slash deadly hospital infections from central lines
NCT ID NCT07255105
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will follow about 1,800 adult ICU patients who have a central line (a special IV placed in a large vein) to see how many get a serious bloodstream infection from it. Researchers want to find out the current infection rate and what factors increase the risk. The goal is to use this information to create better prevention steps and save lives.
