Heparin Flushes Maintaining Central Line Patency 00972099 Gateway Community College Abstract A common problem that complicates use of central venous access devices (CVADs) is occlusion by thrombosis. Heparin has been used in flushing solutions in attempts to prolong the patency of arterial and central venous lines by preventing these occlusions. Its use‚ however is not without risks such as hypersensitivity reactions and heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Recent studies suggest that non-heparinized

use of intravascular catheters have become a generic in the field and especially common in the Intensive Care Units where patients are critically ill (Lorente et al 2005). These catheters serve as a means of access to administer high alert medications that need to be given via a large vein‚ for administering parenteral alimentation and may also serve as a tool to measure the central venous pressure (Byrnes & Coopersmith 2007) Blood stream infections resulting from a central venous access is not a common

Introduction This is critique of a randomized controlled trial study in relation to catheter-related bacteremia as the most frequent complication of the central venous catheter (CVC). The purpose of the study is to decide whether the use of 0.5% tincture of chlorhexidine or 10% povidone-iodine solution‚ is the most beneficial for preventing CVC exit site colonization‚ significant catheter tip colonization and catheter-related bacteremia in ICU patients.
