Does antibiotic lock therapy prevent catheter-associated bacteremia in hemodialysis?
Central venous catheter-related blood stream infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with renal disease treated with hemodialysis. Antibiotic lock solutions can be effective in preventing this complication in patients with hemodialysis. Searching in Epistemonikos database, which is maintained by screening more than twenty databases, we identified eight systematic revie...
متن کاملComparison of early versus late use of antibiotic locks in the treatment of catheter-related bacteremia.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This retrospective study compared the effectiveness of the timing of the antibiotic locks to clear catheter-related bacteremia in children on chronic hemodialysis. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS The early antibiotic lock group received antibiotic locks along with systemic antibiotics from the very beginning of catheter-related bacteremia. The late anti...
متن کاملMinocycline-EDTA lock solution prevents catheter-related bacteremia in hemodialysis.
There is growing concern about the development of antibacterial resistance with the use of antibiotics in catheter lock solutions. The use of an antibiotic that is not usually used to treat other serious infections may be an alternative that may reduce the clinical impact should resistance develop. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to compare a solution of minocycline and EDTA with the...
متن کاملA catheter-related bloodstream infection caused by Chryseobacterium indologenes successfully treated with antibiotic-lock rescue therapy.
We report the case of a catheter-related bloodstream infection caused by Chryseobacterium indologenes, an uncommon and multi-resistant pathogen, in a pediatric patient with a long-term vascular access device placed for chemotherapy treatment. The infection was successfully treated with ciprofloxacin antibiotic-lock therapy. This is the first report on successful salvage of a long-term device co...
متن کاملTreatment of long-term intravascular catheter-related bacteraemia with antibiotic-lock therapy.
BACKGROUND Bacteraemia is a major complication associated with the use of long-term intravascular catheters. Conservative treatment using antibiotic-lock therapy (ALT) has been shown to be useful in some studies, but the evidence supporting its impact in clinical care is still scarce. METHODS We evaluated the outcome of the episodes of catheter-related bacteraemia (CRB) associated with long-t...
