Multicenter Study
Central Line in Long-term Parenteral Nutrition in Children: A European Survey.
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition 2018 September
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The guidelines for the insertion and maintenance of the central venous catheter (CVC) in children on long-term parenteral nutrition (PN) were published 12 years ago and studies evaluating the outcomes are limited. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to perform a survey about criteria for CVC insertion and maintenance in intestinal failure/rehabilitation centers treating children on home PN.
METHODS: An online cross-sectional survey based on previous European Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition PN guidelines was distributed electronically to the members of the European Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition networking group, Network for Intestinal Failure and Transplantation in Europe and tertiary pediatric gastroenterology centers in Europe.
RESULTS: Overall, 55 responses from 49 centers in 18 European countries and Israel were collected. The majority of respondents were from the United Kingdom (10, 19%), followed by Germany (7, 13%) and France (6, 11%). Eleven centers (21%) cared for >30 patients, 8 (15%) centers between 20 and 30 patients, 18 (34%) centers between 10 and 20 patients, and 16 (30%) <10 patients on home PN. There was a high variability in the majority of answers to the cross-sectional survey.
CONCLUSIONS: CVC insertion and maintenance in children on home PN varies largely amongst centers in Europe. These differences could be at least partially explained by the lack of updated guidelines and limited evidence. There is an urgent need for collaborative research to make recommendations about the best possible practice.
