Tunneled-cuffed catheter associated infections in hemodialysis patients who are seropositive for the human immunodeficiency virus.
Infection rates in tunneled-cuffed catheters (TCC) are reported to be higher in immunocompromised patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate TCC-associated infection rates in patients with HIV infection (HIV+). Data were collected in 40 HIV + patients and 41 controls (C), and in 118 TCC (HIV+, 58; C, 60) for 28,146 catheter days (HIV+, 16,227; C, 11,919). There were no significant diff...
متن کاملHemodialysis Tunneled Catheter-Related Infections
Catheter-related bloodstream infections, exit-site infections, and tunnel infections are common complications related to hemodialysis central venous catheter use. The various definitions of catheter-related infections are reviewed, and various preventive strategies are discussed. Treatment options, for both empiric and definitive infections, including antibiotic locks and systemic antibiotics, ...
متن کاملPrevention of Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections in Patients on Hemodialysis
Fourteen percent of deaths among patients with endstage kidney disease (ESKD) are due to infections, preceded only by cardiovascular diseases (USRDS,2006). According to The United States Renal Data System (USRDS), the number of patients receiving hemodialysis in the United States of America (USA) was 328,000 in 2006(USRDS,2008). Secondary to multiple defects in the ability to kill bacteria, inf...
متن کاملRoutine replacement of tunneled, cuffed, hemodialysis catheters eliminates paraspinal/vertebral infections in patients with catheter-associated bacteremia.
BACKGROUND Management of tunneled, cuffed, central venous catheters in hemodialysis (HD) patients with bacteremia remains a challenge. Attempts to salvage the catheter with systemic antibiotics alone have been associated with increased risk of metastatic infectious complications. METHODS Retrospective case series of patients with infectious complications in a chronic dialysis unit, affiliated...
متن کاملAntimicrobial lock solutions in the prevention of catheter-related bloodstream infections in patients receiving hemodialysis.
To the Editor—There is increasing evidence that antimicrobial locks applied within the catheter lumen are effective at preventing catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI), a source of substantial morbidity and mortality in patients receiving hemodialysis (HD). Therefore, we read with interest the recently published review article by John Boyce that, in addition to providing a comprehensiv...
متن کاملCentral venous catheter-related infections in patients receiving short-term hemodialysis therapy: incidence, associated factors, and microbiological aspects.
INTRODUCTION Bloodstream infections are the second most common cause of death among patients on hemodialysis. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of and risk factors associated with central venous catheter-related infections in patients undergoing hemodialysis, and to identify and characterize the type and antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of the primary microorganisms isolated durin...
