2024年11月21日 · Tunneled HD catheters were associated with fewer complications, including lower rates of catheter-related infections and malfunctions, compared to NTDCs. These findings suggest that TDCs offer a safe and effective option for vascular access in AKD patients, particularly when longer durations of HD are required.

An NTDC is commonly placed at bedside in a central vein. A significant number of critically ill patients with AKI who initiate dialysis remain dialysis dependent for several weeks (22,23). A standard practice in the US is to replace the NTDC after <7–10 days to minimize the risk of blood stream infection.

2011年5月9日 · Hemodialysis catheters (tunneled or nontunneled) become infected more frequently than any other type of hemodialysis access. 1 Tunneled dialysis catheter (TDC) infection rates ranges between 2.5 and 5.5 episodes per 1,000 catheter-days.

2017年12月4日 · Patients who received TDCs had significantly better RRT delivery, both with continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH) and intermittent hemodialysis (IHD), compared to patients who received NTDCs; these findings were confirmed after multivariable adjustment for AKI-specific disease severity score, history of chronic kidney disease, renal consul...

2021年1月22日 · Fifteen patients (41.7%) underwent TDC placement at the bedside as their first HD access and an additional 9 patients had their initial HD access replaced with a TDC at the bedside. Thus, in total, 24 TDCs were placed at the bedside in this series.

2009年12月1日 · Nontunneled hemodialysis catheters (NTDCs) are widely used for initial hemodialysis access in new-onset renal failure. The National Kidney Foundation recommends NTDC use for hemodialysis duration of less than 1 week in acute kidney injury because of the increased infection risk compared with tunneled hemodialysis catheters (TDCs) with longer use.

Tunneled dialysis catheters (TDCs) remain the predominant vascular access for initiation of hemodialysis (HD) worldwide. TDCs are also utilized in a significant number of prevalent patients for continuation of dialysis and during the periods of …

2021年6月21日 · The tunnelled dialysis catheter (TDC) is an important method of vascular access in patients with chronic HD, especially in a substantial proportion of the currently...

2021年1月21日 · While tunneled dialysis catheters (TDC) are preferred over non-tunneled dialysis catheters (NTDC), the use of non-tunneled dialysis catheter is indicated when. 1. Duration of catheter use is expected to be short, e.g. 1 week. 2. Presence of bacteremia or sepsis where placement of a tunneled dialysis catheter is contraindicated. 3.

NTDC was granted Transmission Licence No.TL/01//2002 on 31st December 2002 by National Electric Power Regularity Authority (NEPRA) to engage in the exclusive transmission business for a term of thirty (30) years， pursuant to Section 17 of the Regulation of Generation， Transmission and Distribution of Electric Power Act， 1997.
