Bacteremia associated with tunneled, cuffed hemodialysis catheters.
Bacteremia is a frequent complication associated with tunneled, cuffed, permanent catheters (PCs). The incidence, spectrum of infecting organisms, and optimal treatment for catheter-associated bacteremia (CAB) have not been clearly established. In this study, 101 chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients with PCs for blood access were prospectively monitored for infection during a 24-month period. Dat...
متن کاملManagement of bacteremia associated with tunneled-cuffed hemodialysis catheters.
The dominant problem associated with the use of tunneled-cuffed catheters is infection. When this occurs, two issues must be addressed: treatment of the infection and management of the catheter. The purpose of this 2-yr study was to report the results of a prospective observational series in which catheter management was based on the clinical picture presented by the patient. Data were collecte...
متن کاملTunneled femoral central venous catheters in children with cancer.
OBJECTIVE We discuss the feasibility of long-term femoral venous access by means of a cuffed subcutaneously tunneled central venous catheter (Broviac catheter) in selected pediatric cancer and stem cell transplant patients in whom access via the veins of the upper part of the torso is difficult or contraindicated and in whom alternative routes must be used. PATIENTS AND METHODS We report on o...
متن کاملLocking of tunneled hemodialysis catheters with gentamicin and heparin.
INTRODUCTION Catheter-related infection (CRI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients receiving hemodialysis. Antibiotic locking of these catheters has been shown to increase both the success of systemic antibiotic treatment in line sepsis, and to reduce the incidence of sepsis. We have studied the use of gentamicin locking of catheters (in combination with standard heparin rath...
متن کاملSurvival of tunneled hemodialysis catheters after percutaneous placement.
BACKGROUND Tunneled catheters are becoming increasingly used as a permanent dialysis access. Easy way of insertion and good long-term patency make them competitive to fistulas in some groups of patients. METHODS Late complications and survival of 180 tunneled catheters inserted from June 2010 to December 2013 in 171 unselected hemodialysis patients were analyzed. RESULTS The cumulative time...
