Overview
Central venous catheters (CVC) take indispensable place in caring for critically ill patients. Catheter-related infections increase morbidity and mortality. In the article basic CVC protection methods are mentioned with accent on overview of catheters available on the market. Overviews of meta-analyses and several methodological flaws of recent studies are also referred. Meta-analyses showed that anti-infective CVCs reduce the risk of catheter-related blood stream infections, but their routinely use is still not recommended. However, the use of anti-infective CVCs should be considered, when background rates of catheter-related infections are high.
Key words:
central venous catheter – catheter-related infections – impregnated catheter – coated catheter – chlorhexidine – silver sulfadiazine – minocycline – rifampicin
