Risk of bacteremia from temporary hemodialysis catheters by site of insertion and duration of use: A prospective study

Abstract: Internal jugular catheters may be left in place for up to three weeks without a high risk of bacteremia, but femoral catheters in bed-bound patients should be removed after one week. Catheter exchanges over a guidewire for catheter malfunction do not increase bacteremia rates. Temporary catheters should be removed immediately if an exit site infection occurs.

“…In a large prospective randomized study (750 patients), the risk of infection was not reduced with jugular versus femoral venous catheterization [106]. But other prospective nonrandomized studies suggest, that the infection risk appears to sequentially increase for hemodialysis catheters inserted into the subclavian, internal jugular, and femoral veins, respectively [101,107]. Coagulase-negative staphylococci, Staphylococcus aureus, aerobic gram-negative bacilli, and Candida albicans most commonly cause catheter-related bloodstream infection.…”

“…If central venous thrombosis is detected early, it responds well to directly applied thrombolytic therapy [99] or to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty when the fibrotic stenosis can be crossed with a guidewire [100]. The infection risks associated with temporary double lumen catheters include local exit site infection and systemic bacteremia, both of which require prompt removal of the catheter and appropriate intravenous antibiotic therapy [45,101,102]. Bacteremia generally results from either contamination of the catheter lumen or migration of bacteria from the skin through the entry site, down the hemodialysis catheter into the blood stream [103][104][105].…”

“…Sin embargo, estos catéteres no están exentos de complicaciones y su duración es limitada, señalándose como principales complicaciones, infección, déficit de flujo sanguíneo, coagulaciones y trombosis 3,4 . La infección es la complicación más grave, por cuanto puede ocasionar bacteriemia y sepsis en los pacientes, originando un cuadro severo, siendo su frecuencia del 4 al 20 %, dependiendo de las series publicadas 5,6 . El déficit de flujo sanguíneo es una complicación frecuente, que puede comprometer la eficacia de la HD y sobre todo, supone uno de los problemas más importantes para enfermería en su manejo.…”
