Improved ex vivo blood compatibility of central venous catheter with noble metal alloy coating
Central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) are a serious cause of morbidity and mortality induced by the use of central venous catheters (CVCs). Nobel metal alloy (NMA) coating is an advanced surface modification that prevents microbial adhesion and growth on catheters and thereby reduces the risk of infection. In vitro microbiological analyses have shown up to 90% reduction in mi...
متن کاملEvaluation of central venous catheters coated with a noble metal alloy-A randomized clinical pilot study of coating durability, performance and tolerability.
The use of Central Venous Catheters (CVCs) commonly results in complications. Coatings with silver or metal alloys can reduce the risk associated with the use of CVC. We have evaluated the durability of a noble metal coated CVC (the Bactiguard Infectious Protection, BIP CVC) and compared with an uncoated CVC for clinical tolerability (Adverse Events, AEs) and performance, in order to create a b...
متن کاملThe successful withdrawal of a migrated central venous catheter
Background: Central venous catheters (CVCs) have been used widely in clinics. These catheters are also recommended for children and infants receiving chemotherapy and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) and etc. In this paper, we present migrated fractured control line of the heart of a girl. Case Presentation: A 2.5 year old girl with migrated of the fractured central line into the heart. In the ...

665 The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association August 2014 | Vol 114 | No. 8 An 18-year-old woman presented with a 1-day history of edema and erythema associated with a port central venous access device of the anterior left chest wall. The patient reported difficulty with catheter flushing for 2 days. Medical history included severe gastroparesis requiring placement of the catheter 2 m...
متن کاملTolerability and performance of BIP endotracheal tubes with noble metal alloy coating – a randomized clinical evaluation study
BACKGROUND Hospital acquired infections worsen the outcome of patients treated in intensive care units and are costly. Coatings with silver or metal alloys may reduce or alter the formation of biofilm on invasive medical devices. An endotracheal tube (ETT) is used to connect the patient to a ventilator and coated tubes have been tested in relation to bacterial colonization and respiratory infec...
