Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | Jan 38, (1), 2019, p. e16-e18 | Pages: | e16-e18 | Journal: | Pediatr Infect Dis J | Abstract: | This study describes a successful, targeted intervention in central venous access device routine care to decrease central line-associated bloodstream infection. Taurolidine-citrate locks significantly reduced the rate of central line-associated bloodstream infection, particularly Gram-negative organisms without adverse events.1532-0987Clark, Julia E | DOI: | 10.1097/inf.0000000000002191 | Keywords: | Central Venous Catheters/*adverse effects;Child;Child, Preschool;Citric Acid/pharmacology;Cross Infection/microbiology/prevention & control;Female;Gram-Negative Bacteria/drug effects;Bacteremia/*prevention & control;Infant;Male;Taurine/*analogs & derivatives/pharmacology;Thiadiazines/*pharmacology;AdolescentAnti-Infective Agents, Local/*pharmacology;Humans;Catheter-Related Infections/microbiology/*prevention & control;Catheterization, Central Venous/adverse effects/instrumentation;Catheters, Indwelling/*adverse effects | Type: | Article |
