PROCEDURE

7-day Infusion set replacement

7-day infusion set replacement (Experimental arm) In this group, the infusion sets (the tubes and connectors used to deliver medications through the central venous catheter) will be changed once a week, every 7 days. During each replacement, all sets will be disconnected and replaced with new sterile ones.

PROCEDURE

4-day infusion set replacement

4-day infusion set replacement (Active comparator arm) In this group, the infusion sets will be changed every 4 days, which reflects the most common international recommendation. The procedure is the same: all sets connected to the central venous catheter will be replaced with new sterile ones. This strategy represents the current standard of care and will serve as the comparison for the 7-day approach.
