Vantex Central Venous Catheter with Oligon Material: Results of a Clinical Trial
ثبت نشده
چکیده
CVCs have been associated with catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI), a serious complication that is costly to treat.1 To reduce the incidence of CRBSI, CVCs have been developed using materials impregnated with or coated by antimicrobial agents. Ranucci et al. (2003) performed a prospective, randomized clinical trial that evaluated the effectiveness of a new antimicrobial CVC. The findings were published in Critical Care Medicine.
