Strategies to decrease the risk of ventricular catheter infections: a review of the evidence.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of antibiotic-coated external ventricular catheters has been controversial among practitioners; although several papers have documented decreased adherence of microbes to catheters treated with antibiotics, there is no universally accepted practice standard for the use of coated catheters for the prevention of clinical infection. In this paper, we review the in vivo and in vitro evidence for antibiotic-coated catheters.

Background: Prevention of catheter-related infection is of prime importance,. However, because of the risks caused by the leakage of circulating antibiotics and development of resistance to antibiotics, they are replaced by lock solutions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and cost- effectiveness of taurolidine-citrate as a hemodialysis catheter lock solution compared to other ...

متن کاملThe Impact of Intraluminal Vancomycin Adminstration on Prevention of Hemodialysis CatheterRelated Infections
Introduction: Percutaneously inserted double-lumen central venous hemodialysis catheters provide the nephrologist with an excellent temporary access for an immediate hemodialysis treatment and preserve the peripheral veins for the future creation of a permanent arteriovenous vascular access. Unfortunately catheterrelated infections are usually common. In this study, the impact of intra luminal ...
