Antimicrobial lock solutions in the prevention of catheter-related bloodstream infections in patients receiving hemodialysis.
To the Editor—There is increasing evidence that antimicrobial locks applied within the catheter lumen are effective at preventing catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI), a source of substantial morbidity and mortality in patients receiving hemodialysis (HD). Therefore, we read with interest the recently published review article by John Boyce that, in addition to providing a comprehensiv...
متن کاملReview of recommendations to prevent and reduce catheter-related bloodstream infections
ABSTRACT Aim. We sought to review studies regarding interventions to prevent or reduce catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs). Background. CRBSIs are associated with peripheral and central intravenous catheters, including nontunneled central catheters, tunneled central catheters, peripherally inserted central venous catheters (PICC), totally implanted intravascular access devices (por...
متن کاملImpact on hospital mortality of catheter removal and adequate antifungal therapy in Candida spp. bloodstream infections.
OBJECTIVES We set out to identify the prognostic factors in adult patients with Candida spp. bloodstream infection, assessing the impact on in-hospital mortality of catheter removal and adequacy of antifungal therapy. METHODS Patients with positive blood culture for Candida spp. and a central venous catheter in place at the time of candidaemia were included. Data collected included demographi...
متن کاملCandida utilis catheter-related bloodstream infection
Central venous catheter-related fungemia are increasing in the last years, also due to rare fungi. We report the case of a Candida utilis catheter-related bloodstream infection in a patient with metastatic carcinoma of the bladder and a long term totally implanted venous catheter. The diagnosis was done by paired blood cultures and differential time to positivity. The Candida species was rapidl...
متن کاملEconomic Evaluation and Catheter-related Bloodstream Infections
Catheter-related bloodstream infections are a serious problem. Many interventions reduce risk, and some have been evaluated in cost-effectiveness studies. We review the usefulness and quality of these economic studies. Evidence is incomplete, and data required to inform a coherent policy are missing. The cost-effectiveness studies are characterized by a lack of transparency, short time-horizons...
