Conversion from temporary to tunneled catheters by nephrologists: report of a single-center experience.
BACKGROUND Nephrologists have increasingly participated in the conversion from temporary catheters (TC) to tunneled-cuffed catheters (TCCs) for hemodialysis. OBJECTIVE To prospectively analyze the outcomes associated with TCC placement by nephrologists with expertise in such procedure, in different time periods at the same center. The impact of vancomycin or cefazolin as prophylactic antibiot...
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 کاملVenous Thrombosis Associated with Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters in Oncology Patients: A Single Institutional Experience
Purpose: The use of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) had gradually increased in recent years, especially in cancer patients, as it facilitates blood sampling and treatment administration. Unfortunately, they were associated with a high incidence of complications that limited their widespread use. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the characteristics of oncology patients pr...

Since then, central venous access has become amainstay of modern clinical practice. An estimated 200 000 central venou...
متن کاملAdvances in tunneled central venous catheters for dialysis: design and performance.
Over 70% of patients initiating chronic hemodialysis in the United States have a tunneled central venous catheter (CVC) for dialysis as their first blood access device. Tunneled CVC have requirements that are unparalleled by other access devices: high blood flow rates at moderate pressure drops without obstruction, minimal trauma to the vein, resistance to occlusion by fibrous sheathing, preven...
