Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Deepcath is the first step to the introduction of artificial intelligence in catheter care. A better use of visualisation of catheter exit site should be used not only by the HCWs but also by the patients and their family.

A deep learning system able to detect visual abnormalities of the catheter exit site will be an helpful tools to develop a continuous follow-up of intravascular catheters.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patient

Patients will be recruited independently in each of the centers participating in the study, according to the specific organization of each service (hospital and home). Patients will be selected based on the study inclusion/non-inclusion criteria. The included patients will receive oral information about the study. The informed consent will be obtained before any investigation.

Each photograph will focus on the intravascular catheter. The investigators will respect the main non-inclusion criterion: not to show any peripheral identification sign close to the insertion point of the catheter that cannot be masked when the photograph is taken. In this context, jewellery, clothing, tattoos, scars, and birthmarks represent identifying features. Individual access accounts with secure, randomly generated passwords will be provided to investigators.

The photographs will be anonymous, and any identification of the person concerned will be impossible.

Photographs collection phase

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Three medical experts have been selected to review the photo collected. Each expert medical assesses the presence of local signs of infection on the photographs by annotating them directly via a dedicated software. They will annotate local signs: redness, perfusion extravasation, necrosis, hematoma, edema, non-purulent discharge, and purulent discharge.

A convolutional neural network model will determine the probability of local sign presence. Each picture will be annotated to determine the main characteristics of the catheter. A dataset preparation with photo cropping will be performed for modelling.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Patients over 18 years of age Patients with one or more implanted central venous, midline, piCCline, arterial, or peripheral catheters.

Patient and/or trusted person and/or family who have verbally stated their non-objection to the study Patient affiliated or beneficiary of a social security plan

Exclusion Criteria

Patients presenting a peripheral identification sign close to the catheter insertion point cannot be masked when the photograph is taken. Thus, jewelry, clothing, tattoos, scars, and birthmarks are identifying features.

Patients whose catheter insertion point is not visible.
