Removal of central venous catheters from patients with candidemia.
Sir—We read with interest the recent article " Should Vascular Catheters Be Removed from All Patients with Candide-mia? An Evidence-Based Review " by Nucci and Anaissie [1], who attempt to clarify a controversial issue related to the clinical management of this infection. As the authors of a study [2] cited in their article, we were surprised by the interpretation of some of our data, and we wo...

incidences in the landmark group of carotid artery puncture (10.6%), hemothorax (1.7%), and pneumothorax (2.4%) greater than most anesthesiologists would accept. Thus it is not surprising that meta-analysis of these disparate studies (which have not been scored by traditional methods to assess for bias and scientific rigor) would find statistical significance only in success of line insertion. ...
متن کاملManagement of central venous catheters in patients with cancer and candidemia.
To determine the need and appropriate timing of catheter removal in patients with candidemia, the records for 404 patients with cancer and central venous catheters (CVCs) who developed candidemia during the period of 1993-1998 were retrospectively reviewed. Of the total 404 cases of candidemia, 241 (60%) were due to a primary source, 111 (27%) were catheter related, and 52 (13%) were secondary ...
متن کاملUnnecessary Removal of Central Venous Catheters in Cancer Patients with Bloodstream Infections: Impact on Symptom Burden
We evaluated the rate of central venous catheter (CVC) removal in 283 cancer patients with bloodstream infections (BSIs). Removal of CVCs occurred unnecessarily in 57% of patients with non-central-line-associated BSI (non-CLABSI), which was equivalent to the rate of CVC removal in patients with CLABSIs. Physician education and safe interventions to salvage the vascular access are warranted. Inf...

Central venous catheterisation was first performed in 1929when Werner Frossman, a German doctor, inserted a ureteric catheter into his antecubital vein. He then walked to the radiography department so that the catheter could be guided into his right ventricle using fluoroscopy. Since then, central venous access has become amainstay of modern clinical practice. An estimated 200 000 central venou...
