Reduction of biofilm formation with trisodium citrate in haemodialysis catheters: a randomized controlled trial.
BACKGROUND Formation of an intraluminal microbial biofilm is noted to play a significant role in the development of catheter-related infections (CRIs). Recently, it has been demonstrated that trisodium citrate (TSC) has superior antimicrobial effects over heparin for catheter locking. In this randomized controlled trial, we compared the influence of catheter locking with heparin and TSC on the ...
متن کاملRandomized, clinical trial comparison of trisodium citrate 30% and heparin as catheter-locking solution in hemodialysis patients.
Interdialytic hemodialysis catheter-locking solutions could contribute to a reduction of catheter-related complications, especially infections. However, they can cause side effects because of leakage from the tip of the catheter. Recently, trisodium citrate (TSC) has been advocated because of its antimicrobial properties and local anticoagulation. In a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, con...
متن کاملComparison of trisodium citrate and heparin as catheter-locking solution in hemodialysis patients.
INTRODUCTION The high incidence of patients beginning dialysis treatment with venous catheters, as well as the growing number of patients with permanent catheter access, has increased catheter- related blood infections and their consequences. Thus the search for substances with anticoagulant properties that also prevent catheter contamination is necessary. OBJECTIVE This study aimed at compar...
متن کاملAntibiogram for Haemodialysis Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections
Background. Haemodialysis (HD) catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) are a major complication of long-term catheter use in HD. This study identified the epidemiology of HD CRBSIs and to aid in the choice of empiric antibiotics therapy given to patients with HD CRBSIs. Methods. Patients with HD CRBSIs were identified. Their blood cultures were performed according to standard sterile t...
متن کاملPreventing vascular catheter-related infections: current controversies.
Prevention of vascular catheter-related infection remains an important priority. This review focuses on salient controversies regarding optimal preventive methods. Intensity of surveillance for nosocomial infections was the single most important predictor of prevention in the Study of the Efficacy of Nosocomial Infection Control (SENIC). Used suboptimally by most hospitals in the SENIC study, s...
