Taurolidine-citrate-heparin catheter lock solution reduces staphylococcal bacteraemia rates in haemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Infection is second only to cardiovascular disease as a cause of death in the haemodialysis (HD) population. AIM : To assess the effect of introducing catheter lock solution taurolidine-citrate-heparin to all tunnelled central venous catheters (TCVCs) on staphylococcal bloodstream infection rates in patients on chronic HD. DESIGN Observational, prospective analysis of the inciden...
متن کاملPreventing catheter-related bacteremia with taurolidine-citrate catheter locks: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND Preliminary evidence from some studies suggests that taurolidine-citrate locks decrease catheter-related bacteremia (CRB), which is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients using intravascular catheters. No previous study has sought to summarize existing evidence on the use of taurolidine-citrate locks. A systematic review and meta-analysis were undertaken to determine wh...
متن کاملTaurolidine lock: the key to prevention of recurrent catheter-related bloodstream infections.
The literature shows that repeated courses of antibiotics and catheter removals in a subset of patients suffering from multiple catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI), are unlikely to prevent recurrence. In acceding to preventative strategies, we report our application of the antimicrobial chemotherapeutic Taurolidine used as a daily flush solution in seven home TPN patients suffering ...
متن کاملIs Taurolidine-citrate an effective and cost-effective hemodialysis catheter lock solution? A systematic review and cost- effectiveness analysis
BACKGROUND Prevention of catheter-related infection is of prime importance,. However, because of the risks caused by the leakage of circulating antibiotics and development of resistance to antibiotics, they are replaced by lock solutions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and cost- effectiveness of taurolidine-citrate as a hemodialysis catheter lock solution compared to other c...
متن کاملTaurolidine Lock Is Superior to Heparin Lock in the Prevention of Catheter Related Bloodstream Infections and Occlusions
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Patients on home parenteral nutrition (HPN) are at risk for catheter-related complications; mainly infections and occlusions. We have previously shown in HPN patients presenting with catheter sepsis that catheter locking with taurolidine dramatically reduced re-infections when compared with heparin. Our HPN population therefore switched from heparin to taurolidine in 2008. T...
