What’s new: prevention of acute dialysis catheter-related infection

Authors: Antoine Schneider, Ian Baldwin, Bertrand Souweine

Excerpt

In the intensive care unit (ICU), vascular access for renal replacement therapy (RRT) for acute kidney injury (AKI) is usually granted by means of a large-bore dual-lumen catheter (called a dialysis catheter, DC) inserted in a central vein. Infection is an important complication associated with such catheters. Catheter-related infections (CRI) are typically distinguished from colonisation (tip culture yielding >10³ colony-forming units) and classified into catheter-related sepsis without bloodstream infection (colonisation plus signs of infection) and catheter-related blood stream infection (CRBSI). CRBSI are observed in DCs at a rate of 1–4 per 1000 catheter days [1‐3]. …
