Stpahylococcus Aureus Biofilms on Central Venous Haemodialysis Catheters
Biofilm bacterial infections are common in patients undergoing treatment with haemodialysis. This study involved 16 patients (7 males, 9 females; ages from 22 to 81 with an average age of 50) who had had a total of 25 temporary haemodialysis polyurethane catheter insertions into the subclavian vein (22 dual-lumen and 3 triple-lumen). The catheters remained in place from 3 to 91 days, on an aver...
متن کاملTranslumbar central venous catheters for long-term haemodialysis.
BACKGROUND Vascular access for haemodialysis is achieved by tunnelled central venous catheter (CVC) in at least 23% of prevalent patients in the UK, Canada and the USA. Use of CVCs is associated with an increased incidence of venous stenosis that can progressively limit future vascular access routes. Lack of conventional venous access routes mandates the use of alternative strategies such as th...
متن کاملOutcome of tunnelled central venous haemodialysis catheters inserted by radiologists.
Radiologists have only recently been involved in the percutaneous placement of tunnelled central venous haemodialysis catheters. We report our initial experience with our first 60 catheters. All catheters were successfully inserted. Immediate complications encountered included puncture site haemorrhage in 3 patients (5%) and puncture of the left brachiocephalic vein in 1 patient (1.7%). These w...
متن کاملCentral venous catheters.
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...
متن کاملDetection of Mixed Microbial Biofilms on Central Venous Catheters Removed from Intensive Care Unit Patients
Central venous catheters from intensive care unit patients were subjected to microbiological methods (semiquantitative culture) and scanning electron microscopy in order to assess microbial attachment and correlate it with blood cultures. During the period of the survey, 59 patients with inserted central venous catheters were studied. The type of catheter used was nontunneled, noncuffed, single...
