Impact of oligon central venous catheters on catheter colonization and catheter-related bloodstream infection.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate a new antimicrobial treatment for central venous catheters in comparison with a traditional treatment, by assessing the catheter colonization and catheter-related bloodstream infection rates in two groups of patients. DESIGN Multiple-center, prospective randomized study. SETTING The medical and surgical departments of ten institutions. PATIENTS Patients requiring a c...
متن کاملCentral venous dialysis catheters: catheter-associated infection.
Tunneled dialysis catheters (TDC) are extensively used for long-term venous hemodialysis access and their use is frequently associated with infectious complications. Catheter-related bacteremia (CRB) is the most common and important infection associated with TDC use and may be caused by a wide variety of Gram-positive or Gram-negative organisms. Prevention of CRB can be difficult despite use of...
متن کاملImpact of central venous catheter type and methods on catheter-related colonization and bacteraemia.
A prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-centre clinical trial was performed to test the effectiveness of an antimicrobial central venous catheter (CVC) made of polyurethane integrated with silver, platinum and carbon black (Vantex). Adults expected to require a CVC for more than 60 h were eligible, and were randomized to receive the test or control catheter. All CVCs were inserted with new...
متن کاملThe Impact of Central Venous Catheters on Pediatric Venous Thromboembolism
The use of central venous catheters (CVCs) in children is escalating, which is likely linked to the increased incidence of pediatric venous thromboembolism (VTE). In order to better understand the specific risk factors associated with CVC-VTE in children, as well as available prevention methods, a literature review was performed. The overall incidence of CVC-VTE was found to range from 0 to 74%...
متن کاملthe impact of explicit instruction of top-down reading strategies on reading comprehension of intermediate efl learners
this study investigated (a) the learners’ existing reading strategy repertoire, (b) the effect of instruction in reading strategies on learners’ strategic performance, and (c) the effect of explicit instruction in top-down reading strategies on reading comprehension ability of intermediate learners. the study was conducted with 40 intermediate efl learners in two groups of experimental and cont...
