Could weekly IV line changes cut ICU workload without raising infection risk?
NCT ID NCT07183592
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares changing IV tubing every 7 days versus every 4 days in ICU patients with central venous catheters. The goal is to see if the longer interval increases infection rates. About 2,830 adults will take part. If 7-day changes are safe, it could save nursing time and reduce medical waste.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Infusion set replacement procedure
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that changing IV tubing every 7 days is as safe as every 4 days, potentially reducing nurse workload and hospital costs without raising infection risk.
- What could go wrong
- This is a large but early-stage trial. The 7-day schedule might still lead to more infections, and results may not apply to all ICU patients or settings.
