Biofilms on indwelling vascular catheters
Critical Care Medicine, 1992Some bacteria have a natural tendency to adhere to available surfaces and to form biofilms. Biofilms have been demonstrated on right heart flow-directed catheters, endocardial pacemaker leads, urinary catheters, and other medical devices. In this study, we examined arterial and central venous catheters that had been in place in ICU patients between 1 ...

Emergencies of indwelling venous catheters
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 1992It is estimated that over 500,000 indwelling venous access devices are inserted yearly in the United States.’ Although predominantly inserted in oncology patients, these devices provide long-term access for any patient in need of prolonged infusions. Indwelling venous catheters fall into three broad categories.

Catheter Tract Metastasis Associated With Indwelling Pleural Catheters
Chest, 2014Indwelling pleural catheters (IPCs) are commonly used to manage malignant effusions. Tumor spread along the catheter tract remains a clinical concern for which limited data exist. We report the largest series of IPC-related catheter tract metastases (CTMs) to date, to our knowledge.This is a single-center, retrospective review of IPCs inserted over a ...

Indwelling catheter infection.
Canadian Medical Association journal, 1973A "catheter team", consisting of two hospital assistants specially trained to catheterize male patients, inserted indwelling catheters in 435 men over a two-year period. The infection rate was 33%; in the 200 patients not treated with antimicrobial drugs (study group) the rate was 37%, while in the 235 patients who were so treated (antibacterial group)

Irrigation of indwelling urinary catheters
Urology, 1983Patients with chronic indwelling urinary catheters were studied to determine whether or not catheter irrigation with a sterile nonbacteriostatic solution should be part of routine care. One thousand catheter days were studied with catheters irrigated half of the time.

Although often a necessary intervention, urinary catheters are the leading cause of urinary tract infection (UTI) in hospitalized patients and are associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and cost. Avoidance of prolonged or any bladder catherization is recommended if possible.

[Indwelling transurethral catheter].
MMW Fortschritte der Medizin, 2006Apart from injuries occurring during catheter placement, the most important of the risks associated with indwelling transurethral catheters are incrustation of the catheter and infection, possibly leading on to urosepsis. Recommended countermeasures are the application of strict criteria when establishing the indication for catheterization, reversion ...
