Meta-analysis: antibiotics for prophylaxis against hemodialysis catheter-related infections.
BACKGROUND Catheter-related infections cause morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis. PURPOSE To examine whether topical or intraluminal antibiotics reduce catheter-related bloodstream infection compared with no antibiotic therapy in adults undergoing hemodialysis. DATA SOURCES Electronic databases, trial registries, bibliographies, and conference proceedings up to Octob...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated among hospital staff nasal carriers of Babol, Iran
Background: Staphylococcus aureus (s. aureus) nasal carriers, particularly the healthcare staff can be considered as a potential source for the spread of resistant strains. The aim of this study was to determine the molecular characterization of S. aureus strains isolated among the staff nasal carriers in one of the teaching hospitals in Babol. Methods: A total of 120 nasal swabs were taken fr...
متن کاملDoes the heparin lock concentration affect hemodialysis catheter patency?
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Concentrated heparin solutions are instilled into the catheter lumens after each hemodialysis session to prevent catheter thrombosis. The heparin lock concentration at many centers has been decreased recently to reduce the risk of systemic bleeding and contain costs. However, the effect of this change on catheter patency is unknown. We compared catheter patency between...
متن کاملThe Issues Related to Hemodialysis Catheter Lock Prophylaxis with Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator
Arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) are the most preferred and promoted form of dialysis access due to their lowest complication rates. However, the changing demographic profile of endstage renal disease (ESRD) with an increasing elderly and diabetic population having relatively poor vasculature, relative lack of prudent pre-ESRD planning for AV fistula creation, late referrals, and comparatively lowe...
متن کاملAntibacterial Activity of Mulinum spinosum Extracts against Slime-Producing Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Nasal Carriers
Nasal carriers of Staphylococcus aureus are important reservoirs with risk of developing endogenous infections or transmitting infections to susceptible individuals. Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) are associated with higher rates of treatment failure. Some strains of S. aureus produce slime which is believed to make the microorganisms more resistant to antibiotics and host defenses. The...
