Usefulness of exchanging a tunneled central venous catheter using a subcutaneous fibrous sheath

Reads0

TLDR
The modified catheter exchange using fibrous sheath, even in patients with CRBSI, appears to be an effective procedure for reserving the venous route to the central veins in patients who require either long-term PN or other treatments.

Characterization of post-hospital infections in adults requiring home parenteral nutrition

TL;DR: Higher mean blood glucose levels during predischarge hospitalization and the use of peripherally inserted central catheter central venous catheters at discharge are associated with an increased risk of BSI in the postdischarge home setting.

Hemodialysis access system

TL;DR: In this article, a medical blood access system used for hemodialysis treatment to enable blood withdrawal for processing of blood by an external apparatus and return the same blood to a patient, comprising an interfacial fluid conduit between the machine and patient's blood supply which is repeatedly connectable along a guided pathway passing through epidermis and subcutaneous tissue via a naturally formed tissue tract to enter blood space, providing improved patient safely, convenience, effective prophylaxis, without bleeding or tissue trauma or pain.

Prevention and management of central line-associated bloodstream infections in hospital practice.

TL;DR: The literature on preventive measures for central line–associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) and optimal management once a CLABSI has been established are examined and empiric and pathogen-specific antibiotic therapy is discussed.

Central Vein Preservation in Critical Venous Access

TL;DR: For children with critical venous access requirements, direct line exchange procedures are a robust and reproducible means of vein preservation and compare favorably with those following the more traditional removal, a PF period and reinsertion.

“A salvage technique using a fibrous sheath to avoid the loss of the central veins in cases of pediatric intestinal failure”

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the efficacy of a new CV catheter-exchange technique using a subcutaneous fibrous sheath (FS) in pediatric IF patients, and the FS method was attempted in 47 cases and succeeded in 40 (85%).

Pathogenesis of infections related to intravascular catheterization.

TL;DR: Over the past few decades, there have been major technological improvements in the manufacture of intravenous solutions and the manufacture and design of catheter materials, but the risk of infection in patients receiving infusion therapy remains substantial.

Central venous catheter use in the pediatric patient: mechanical and infectious complications.

TL;DR: Differences between adults and children regarding CVC use and its potential complications will be focused on, and full sterile barrier precautions during CVC insertion and strict protocols for catheter care are recommended.

Evidence-based practice in the management of vascular access devices for home parenteral nutrition therapy.

TL;DR: Critical interventions are presented correlating current evidence with new discoveries in pathogenesis, including the discovery of the biofilm form of microbial life and the associated recalcitrance of biofilm bacteria to antimicrobials.
