Trial Summary

Do I need to stop my current medications for this trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications.

What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Educational video for Intestinal Failure?

The Intestinal Failure Improve Care Project highlights the importance of education and training for healthcare providers and families in improving patient outcomes, suggesting that educational interventions can be beneficial in managing intestinal failure. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Is the educational video for intestinal failure safe for humans?

There is no specific safety data available for educational videos related to intestinal failure, but educational videos in general are considered safe as they are a form of information delivery and do not involve physical interventions. ^{6 7 8 9 10}

How does the educational video treatment for intestinal failure differ from other treatments?

The educational video for intestinal failure is unique because it uses multimedia to improve understanding and management of the condition, unlike traditional treatments that focus on medical interventions like intravenous fluids or parenteral nutrition. This approach helps patients and healthcare providers learn about the condition through engaging and accessible content, potentially improving care delivery and patient outcomes. ^{7 11 12 13 14}

What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of this clinical trial is to develop an educational video addressing the aseptic techniques to safely handle central catheters for administrating parenteral nutrition at home.

Findings from Research

A newly developed 20-question knowledge test on chronic intestinal failure (CIF) revealed that a cohort of 100 US gastroenterologists scored an average of 8.2 out of 20, indicating a significant lack of knowledge in this area.

The test demonstrated good reliability (Cronbach alpha of 0.74) and effectively distinguished between experts and nonexperts, highlighting the need for improved education and training in CIF care among gastroenterologists.

A multidisciplinary team approach and a protocol-driven strategy to prevent parenteral nutrition-associated liver disease (PNALD) significantly improved survival rates in patients with intestinal failure, with a 100% survival rate observed from 2006 to 2009 compared to a 72% survival rate in the historical cohort from 1998 to 2006.

The use of novel lipid therapies, including parenteral fish oil emulsion, contributed to successful weaning from parenteral nutrition in 87% of patients within an average of 3.9 months, while no patients developed PNALD during this period.

A significant improvement in survival rates for pediatric patients with intestinal failure (IF) was observed over two decades, particularly for those diagnosed after 1994, indicating advancements in treatment and care.

The establishment of a comprehensive intestinal failure clinical care team was the only intervention linked to improved survival, highlighting the importance of multi-disciplinary approaches in managing complex pediatric cases.

A retrospective analysis of 120 pediatric patients with chronic intestinal failure (CIF) over 28 years showed high survival rates, with 98.4% surviving the first year of home parenteral nutrition (HPN) and 93.8% surviving beyond five years.

The study found a significant decrease in catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) rates over time, indicating improved safety and care standards, and highlighted that 56.7% of patients regained enteral autonomy within one year of starting HPN.

A study evaluating 48 YouTube videos on bowel management in children found that videos aimed at professionals had higher reliability and quality scores compared to those intended for the public, with mean DISCERN scores of 75.73 for professionals versus 45.30 for the public.

Despite the higher quality, professional videos were longer (averaging 57.7 minutes) and had fewer views (median 404.5) compared to public videos, which were shorter (averaging 5.7 minutes) and more widely viewed (median 8400), suggesting a need for more concise and accessible content for general audiences.
