Survival 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...
متن کاملBacteremia associated with tunneled hemodialysis catheters: outcome after attempted salvage.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Treatment without catheter replacement (catheter salvage) has been described for bacteremia associated with tunneled venous catheters in hemodialysis patients, but few data are available on which to base an estimation of the likelihood of treatment success. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS In a prospective cohort study, all cases of catheter-associated b...
متن کاملElimination of intraluminal colonization by antibiotic lock in catheters.
Antibiotic lock (AL) technique for catheter related infection encompasses the filling of a catheter lumen with high concentrations of antibiotics for hours. The goal of AL therapy is to decontaminate the intraluminal surface of the catheter. However the duration of antibiotic therapy is not established. An in vitro model was designed to establish the time needed to eliminate intraluminal microb...
متن کاملTunneled catheters with taurolidine-citrate-heparin lock solution significantly improve the inflammatory profile of hemodialysis patients.
Mortality and morbidity are significantly higher among patients with dialysis catheters, which has been associated with chronic activation of the immune system. We hypothesized that bacteria colonizing the catheter lumen trigger an inflammatory response. We aimed to evaluate the inflammatory profile of hemodialysis patients before and after locking catheters with an antimicrobial lock solution....
متن کاملNon-tunneled versus tunneled dialysis catheters for acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy: a prospective cohort study
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury requiring renal replacement therapy (AKI-RRT) is associated with high morbidity, mortality and resource utilization. The type of vascular access placed for AKI-RRT is an important decision, for which there is a lack of evidence-based guidelines. METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study over a 16-month period with 154 patients initiated on AKI-RRT via eith...
