2020年11月5日 · Introduction: Central venous catheters (CVC) are often required in critical care settings to provide life-sustaining care. Their usage has improved the quality of care in pediatric patients by providing a secure point of access which minimizes the number of peripheral needle sticks. However, CVC usage is not without risks.

2020年11月5日 · Children can experience acute CVC-related complications such as venous thromboembolisms (VTEs) and infections. Over the past 20 years, CVC utilization has increased and its associated complications (VTE, central line associated blood stream infection [CLABSI], catheter dysfunction) result in increased lengths of stay and hospital costs.

This study aims to evaluate whether placing a tunneled CVC (T-CVC) immediately is more advantageous than initially using a non-tunneled CVC (NT-CVC) in acute patients. By comparing the short-term outcomes of these two catheter types, our primary endpoints include catheter-related infections, mechanical complications, and patient survival rates.

2024年3月8日 · Of those who died 29 patients (90%) had a Central venous catheter (CVC) with a non-tunnelled catheter (NTCVC) (65.5%); having an NTC CVC makes a patient 85.5 times more likely to be hospitalized than patients with arteriovenous fistulas. Vascular access plays a predominant role in the hospitalization and mortality rates in haemodialysis.

Haemodialysis tunnelled cuffed Central Venous Catheter (Htc-CVC) What it is. A long, hollow, plastic tube, inserted into a large central vein, usually in the neck or chest. A short tunnel is created on the anterior chest wall for the catheter to exit.

Conclusion Vascular access plays a predominant role in the hospitalization and mortality rates in haemodialysis.

2023年1月31日 · Noncuffed, Nontunneled Catheters (NT-CVC) KDOQI considers it reasonable to limit the use of temporary, noncuffed, nontunneled dialysis catheters to a maximum of 2 weeks due to increased risk of infection, and this should be considered only in patients in need of emergent access.

NT-CVC had the lowest rate (1.63%) followed by TL (2.56%) and PICCs (3.7%). However, PICCs has a slightly lower rate when measuring by catheter days (NT-CVC = 2.2 per 1000 catheter days; TL = 4.01 per 1000 catheter days; PICC = 1.46 per 1000 catheter days).

A non-tunnelled central venous catheter (CVC) is a tube inserted into a large vein in the neck or groin to give medication and fluids and take blood. It is used for short periods of under 2 weeks, in major surgery and in emergency situations.
