Non-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...
متن کاملComparison of temporary and permanent catheters for acute peritoneal dialysis.
The records of 64 children who underwent acute peritoneal dialysis in the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, between 1 January 1982 and 31 December 1985 were reviewed. Rigid Trocath catheters were used in 33 patients and silastic Tenckhoff catheters in 34. The groups were comparable for age, weight, primary disease, duration of dialysis, and outcome. There were no significant differences in t...
متن کاملLong-term outcomes of arteriovenous thigh grafts in hemodialysis patients: a comparison with tunneled dialysis catheters.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Arteriovenous thigh grafts are a potential vascular access option in hemodialysis patients who have exhausted all upper-limb sites. This study compared the outcomes of thigh grafts with outcomes obtained with dialysis catheters. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS A prospective vascular access database was queried to identify 209 thigh grafts placed from Jan...
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...
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...
