Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
The investigators propose to conduct a prospective randomized trail (RCT) of a driveline management protocol. The study will be initiated at UCSF from January 1st 2022 to December 31st 2022 as a pilot to be extended to other sites with the ultimate goal to develop a multi-center RCT. The driveline dressing protocol studied will include a silver-based dressing barrier as well as a dressing change protocol and material designed to reduce the risk of driveline dressing induced dermatitis and allergies. Assessment will include DLI rates, DLI speciation, dermatitis rate, comfort, ease of use, compliance and cost
