Therefore, we read with interest the recently published review article by John Boyce that, in addition to providing a comprehensiv...

متن کاملPreventing haemodialysis catheter-related bacteraemia with an antimicrobial lock solution: a meta-analysis of prospective randomized trials.
BACKGROUND Catheter-related bacteraemia (CRB) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in haemodialysis patients. Interdialytic locking of catheters with antimicrobial agents has recently been investigated for the prevention of CRB. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT) to determine the efficacy of antimicrobial lock solutions (ALS) in the prevention of CRB in ha...
متن کاملAntimicrobial lock therapy for catheter-related bacteraemia among patients on maintenance haemodialysis.
Sir, In reference to the review on use of antibiotic locks to treat colonized central venous catheters by Berrington & Gould, 1 we report the results of antibiotic lock therapy (ALT) in our haemodialysis unit. Although this technique was first used more than a decade ago, optimal dose, duration and choice of the agent are still not clear. Reports of the efficacy of ALT in oncology settings, par...
