We report the case of an 84-year-old man with a history of IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis who was diagnosed with advanced esophageal cancer and underwent radiation and chemotherapy. An implantable central venous access port was placed for chemotherapy and total parenteral nutrition. The patient presented with a fever and received antimicrobial therapy for acute cholangitis but remained febrile, and subsequently, yeast was detected in the aerobic bottle of blood culture obtained from the central venous line...

Blood culture proven sepsis is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Given the extended hospitalization of very preterm infants, catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSIs) play a substantial role in sepsis. The reported incidence of CRBSIs in neonates varies from 3.2 to 21.8 CRBSIs per 1000 catheter line days. Moreover, discrepancies in neonatal practices and potential neglect may lead to the unwarranted prolongation of central lines. This study aims to compare two distinct periods (Pre-QI vs...

Vascular access continues to be a key factor for the reliable and safe delivery of intravenous (IV) therapy to patients in any healthcare setting. Clinical guidelines advocate for the right vascular access device selection, in order to reduce avoidable complications, eg multiple stabs, phlebitis, thrombophlebitis, insertion site infection, and blood stream infection, while improving efficiency and reducing costs. Peripheral intravenous catheters or cannulas (PIVCs) remain widely used for gaining vascular access in all clinical settings, with both adults and children, because they provide a relatively cheap and simple way to provide blood sampling and the prompt administration of IV medications...

Background: The complication of totally implantable venous access device (TIVAD) is an infection, which causes the death of patients. Therefore, it is critical to identify risk factors for TIVAD infection to prevent death. Patients and Methods: The enrolled patients were divided into two groups and subsequently divided into subgroups according to various factors in which the correlation between infection and risk factors was analyzed. Multivariable logistic analysis of odds ratios (ORs) for seven risk factors was performed, meanwhile, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of neutrophil and serum albumin was conducted for the prediction of TIVAD infection occurrence...

BACKGROUND: We assessed the safety and efficacy of oral antibiotic step-down therapy for uncomplicated gram-negative blood stream infections in solid organ transplant recipients. METHODS: We identified all solid organ transplant recipients within the Massachusetts General and Brigham and Women's Hospital systems from 2016-2021 with uncomplicated gram-negative bacteremia involving an organism susceptible to an acceptably bioavailable oral antibiotic agent. Using inverse probability of treatment-weighted models based on propensity scores adjusting for potential clinical confounders, we compared outcomes of those transitioned to oral antibiotics vs those who continued IV therapy for the duration of treatment...

BACKGROUND: Peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) are the most common route of intravenous (I.V.) access for treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) pulmonary exacerbations, but repeated PICC placement can result in upper extremity peripheral venous stenosis. Once peripheral stenosis develops, a non-cuffed tunneled central venous catheter (NcTCVC) is an alternative route for IV access. While these are regularly used at some CF centers, the safety and complication rate compared to PICCs in adults with CF has not been reported...

BACKGROUND: Central venous catheter (CVC) complications are frequently reported in patients receiving home parenteral support (HPS). Compromised CVC integrity or breakage is one such issue. Repairing such breakages can potentially avoid costly and risky catheter replacements. METHODS: We completed a retrospective descriptive cohort study using a prospectively maintained data set, in a national UK intestinal failure reference center. Repair success, CVC longevity, and catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) rates after repair were the primary outcome measures...

PURPOSE: To compare the port infection rate between single-lumen and double-lumen ports and to determine if the use of a double-lumen port is an independent risk factor for port infection among cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study included 2,573 adult oncologic patients (age >18 years old) who had either a single-lumen (n=841) or a double-lumen (n=1,732) chest port implanted between 2013 and 2020 at a single institution. Patients who had port infection including port-site infection and port-related blood stream infection were identified through chart review...

INTRODUCTION: Children may require durable central venous catheters (CVCs) for various reasons. CVC-related integrity complications are common and can often be repaired at the bedside to increase lifetime. Variability in repair techniques can lead to complications, including the need for repeat repair and Central Line Associated Blood Stream Infection (CLABSI). METHODS: The impact of an educational curriculum to standardize tunneled CVC repairs for trainees on a pediatric surgery service was studied, focusing on comfort level with tunneled CVC repair and to determine the impact on complication rates...

BACKGROUND: Catheter-related bloodstream infections in patients on home parenteral nutrition for chronic intestinal failure are associated with significant morbidity and financial costs. Taurolidine is associated with reduced bloodstream infections, with limited information on the cost-effectiveness as primary prevention.

Metastatic infections can complicate catheter-related blood stream infections (CRBSI) in dialysis dependent patients. However, an infected/septic aneurysm involving the aorta or its branches as a direct complication of CRBSI without an underlying infective endocarditis is not reported so far in the literature. We report a 43-year female, who presented with CRBSI 2 weeks following a tunneled dialysis catheter (TDC) insertion. Due to the lack of defervescence after 72 h of antibiotics given as per the culture sensitivity reports, the TDC was removed...

INTRODUCTION: Survival of tunneled cuffed catheters (TCC), used widely in children, is complicated by infections and catheter dysfunction. In resource limited settings, where risk of complications could be higher and waiting period for transplantation longer, catheter survival determines patient survival. This study was conducted to determine infection free catheter survival rates, incidence of catheter failure and associated risk factors. METHODS: Children <18 years of age receiving maintenance hemodialysis through TCC at nephrology division of a pediatric hospital, over a period of 6 years ...

PURPOSE: The incidence and risk factors of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) in patients with intestinal failure (IF) have not been established, partly because catheter management methods vary from different facilities. This study aimed to identify the risk factors and incidence rate of CRBSIs in patients with IF who were given prophylactic treatment. METHODS: Sixteen patients with IF who required home parenteral nutrition were enrolled in this study...

Central venous catheter (CVC)-based hemodialysis is a major contributor to bacteremia in immunocompromised hosts. Heparin-locking CVCs is a frequent therapeutic procedure. However, it has not been shown to reduce catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs). For this systematic review, we searched PubMed, PubMed Central, ResearchGate, Science Direct, and Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) for multiple articles published between January 2018 and January 2023 to determine how antimicrobial locking solutions affect CRBSIs, which could ultimately lower the risk of morbidity, mortality, and hospitalization costs...
