Problems associated with indwelling central venous catheters.
Forty nine Broviac or Hickman indwelling central venous catheters were inserted in 36 patients with haematological and neoplastic diseases for indications including young age, intensity of treatment, and psychological attitude. Sixteen patients suffered 29 episodes of infection related to the catheter bacteraemia (0.68 episodes per 100 days of catheter use). Infections occurred much more common...

متن کاملIndwelling pleural catheters.
Indwelling pleural catheters (IPC) are now established as one of the major tools for the management of recurrent pleural effusions. Their traditional role, which saw them only as second line treatment for malignant effusions, has now expanded. Recent evidence has not only suggested that they may be effectively employed as first-line therapy in some malignant cases, but that there is a wider spe...
متن کاملIsolations of aerobic sporing bacilli from the tips of indwelling intravascular catheters.
Following previous reports of the isolation of aerobic sporing bacilli from intravenous catheters and infusion sets, it was decided to analyse a series of catheter tip cultures to ascertain the significance of these isolations. Those catheters from which aerobic sporing bacilli were isolated behaved statistically differently from other catheters from which organisms were isolated, but were stat...
متن کاملMicrobiology Misconceptions Bacteriuria in Patients with Neurogenic Bladder and/or Indwelling Catheters
Patients with neurogenic bladder and/or indwelling catheters are overtreated for urinary tract infection (UTI) due to the presence of asymptomatic bacteriuria (bacteria in urine). Colonizing bacteria in these patients often develop resistance to antibiotics, making treatment challenging if the patient develops an infection at a later point in time. Patients with indwelling chronic catheters oft...
