Simple interventions can reduce the risk for serious catheter-related infection and use of chlorhexidine-silver sulfadiazine-impregnated or minocycline-rifampin-impraped short-term central venous catheters if the rate of infection is high despite adherence to other strategies that do not incorporate antimicrobial agents.

The recommended prevention strategies with strong supportive evidence include educating and training of health care providers who insert and maintain catheters; using full barrier precautions during central venous catheter insertion; using a 2% chlorhexidine preparation for skin antisepsis; and using antiseptic/antibiotic impregnated short-term central ven Mousses.

A new and more rigorous classification with criteria for definite, probable and possible catheter-related bacteraemia is proposed and it is hoped that this classification will enhance the interpretation of the literature and the planning of new investigations.

There was low quality evidence from a meta-analysis of two studies suggesting that urokinase was more effective than placebo for restoring patency to occluded CVC lumens in adults and children with underlying medical conditions, and insufficient evidence to draw conclusions on the safety of uro Kinase.

It is concluded that changing a central venous catheter over a guidewire is as safe and has better patient acceptability than inserting a new one, as the proven CRS rate is low (2%) despite a high (27%) suspected rate.

To determine risk factors for infection of hyperalimentation catheters, prospectively studied 169 catheter systems by using a semiquantitative culture technique and estimated the risk of infection per day to be 1.3 times greater for a catheter if the patient had been hospitalized 50 days instead of seven days, and 3.8 times greater if the customer had a Swan-Ganz catheter at the time of insertion.

When prolonged central venous or pulmonary artery catheterization is necessary, periodic catheter replacement over a guidewire is associated with fewer mechanical complications than initial venipuncture and is also associated with no increase in risk of infection.

Using a standard, sterile-insertion technique and a catheter-maintenance protocol yielded a low risk of insertion and infectious complications at either the IJ or SC site, indicating that PACs can be changed safely over a guidewire at 72 h, avoiding further insertion risks without increasing infectious complications.
