“…Ferreira J. et al, thought the infusion PORT was also called PORT, which is a closed infusion system which is implanted subcutaneously and remains in the body for a long time. The infusion port is suitable for patients who need long-term infusion, repeated blood drawing, intravenous nutrition support, and chemotherapy, mostly tumor patients [ 6 ]. Fhrs et al believe that cancer patients need repeated intravenous fluids because of the long treatment cycle, especially during chemotherapy, targeting, immunization, and nutritional support, so that they do not only have to endure the pain of puncture, but frequent punctures can also cause blood vessel occlusion, making treatment of tumor patients even more difficult [ 7 ].…”

In order to investigate the influence of patient position change on the position of catheter tip in arm infusion port, the clinical data of 324 patients undergoing arm infusion port implantation in a hospital were retrospectively analyzed. It could be obtained that TIVAP was successfully implanted in 324 patients with malignant tumors. In 171 cases, the TIVAP catheter tip shifted to the foot side when the position was changed from upright to decubitus, with an average displacement of (12.29 ± 7.48) mm; 149 cases had cephalic displacement with an average of (5.00 ± 3.79) mm; and 5 cases had no change. The position of the TIVAP catheter tip tended to shift to the foot side when the vertical position changed to the decubitus position, with an average displacement of (−9.32 ± 9.36) mm, and the difference had statistical significance ( P < 0.0001 ), while there were no significant differences in gender, age, height, weight, body mass index, and catheter tip position ( P > 0.05 ). It could be analyzed from the data that from decubitus to upright position, the tip of the arm infusion port tended to shift to the foot side, and the moving distance was related to the patient’s gender, sebum thickness, and indwelling catheter length. Preoperative understanding of relevant information is helpful to determine the location and length of catheterization and reduce catheter-related complications.

“…In a 2015 letter to Clinical Infectious Diseases , Lance Peterson reiterated the inadequacy and the potential risk of CTC, based on its unreliable and generally poor positive predictive value for catheter-related bloodstream infections ( 10 ). Ferreira et al compared the clinical utility of catheter-drawn blood versus CTC for neonatal catheter-related bloodstream infection cases and found no difference in patient outcomes between the two methods ( 11 ). Thus, although CTC results can contribute to the diagnosis of catheter-associated bacteremia, the differential time to positivity is often available before the CTC results.…”

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Utility of Positive Intravascular Catheter Tip Cultures

In patients with intravascular catheters who are febrile or have positive blood cultures and no other obvious sources of infection, catheter tip cultures are often obtained to evaluate potential catheter-related bloodstream infections. However, previous studies reported that the management of catheter-related bloodstream infection cases is entirely based on blood culture growth and susceptibilities and that catheter tip cultures have low diagnostic positive predictive value.
