<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Nursing and Midwifery Director, Research<\/h2>\n
Dr Nicole Marsh\u2019s research is focused on improving patient outcomes and decreasing complications associated with vascular access across the acute clinical care and community setting. Her PhD addressed risk factors for peripheral intravenous catheter failure in the adult population.<\/p>\n
In addition, she has been a Clinical Trial Co-ordinator for more than 30 single and multi-centre clinical trials. She also has over 25 years\u2019 experience in nursing with specialist qualifications in Neurosurgical Nursing.<\/p>\n
In 2019 Dr Marsh was part of a team (CIC) awarded a NHMRC partnership grant: Difficult peripheral intravenous catheter insertion: Australian considerations for sustainable implementation of ultrasound guided procedures.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Clinical Trials<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nPISCES Trial: The study is a multi-centre, 2×2 factorial, superiority randomised controlled trial (RCT) to test (1) securements (Securement device vs. integrated securement device), and (2) dressings (chlorhexidine-disc vs. no disc) for peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) in Cancer patients. Principal Site Investigator: N Marsh<\/p>\n
PICNIC trial: This study is a multicentre, parallel group, superiority RCT comparing the clinical- and cost- effectiveness of the (i) anti-thrombogenic (AT [Endexo\u00ae] and (ii) chlorhexidine gluconate PICCs, to (iii) conventional polyurethane PICCs in paediatric and adult patients. Principal Site Investigators: P, Harris, N Marsh<\/p>\n
Midline trial: this RCT is comparing midline catheters and peripheral intravenous catheters (PVC) for the prevention of insertion failure and post-insertion failure; and to generate pilot data to support a larger, definitive trial. Principal Investigator: N Marsh<\/p>\n
Optimum trial: A multi-centre RCT comparing an integrated PVC system against current practice a non-integrated system. Principal Site Investigator: N Marsh<\/p>\n
Vascular Access Passport: this is a consumer-led innovation to implement improvements in central venous access device management in the cancer care population. Principal Site Investigators: E Larsen, N Marsh, N Roberts<\/p>\n
Cocoa Trial: this RCT is comparing positive and neutral needleless connectors for the prevention of PVC failure. Principal Investigators: N Marsh, E Larsen, C O\u2019Brien, Davies K, McLeod K, Booker C<\/p>\n
Adorn trial: This RCT is comparing an anti-microbial disc to no-disc for infection prevention in central venous access devices in ICU. Principal Investigator: N Marsh<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
