The Management of Indwelling Catheters
British Journal of Urology, 1978Summary— Eighteen geriatric patients with indwelling catheters were observed for a total of 393 weekly urine specimens. The effects of a 1 week course of antibiotics/chemotherapeutic agent followed by urinary antiseptics for 6 weeks, and also of regular bladder washouts, were noted.

Complications associated with indwelling catheters
Medical and Pediatric Oncology, 1992AbstractBetween 1983 and 1985, 170 consecutive patients received doxorubicin‐containing adjuvant chemotherapy through central venous catheters, and four via a long indwelling catheter in the antecubital fossa. The objective of this retrospective study is to determine the acute and chronic complications associated with indwelling catheters. Ninety‐four (

Rupture of Indwelling Venous Catheters
Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, 1983Recently a design change in certain Broviac and Hickman catheters has created a serious problem. The paper described the defect and a means of reinforcing the catheter both before it is inserted and after it is in place.

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.
