  • A Study on Catheter Related Infection in Cancer Patient Treated with Central Venous Catheterization

    Objective To study the catheter-related infection (CRI) in cancer patients treated with central venous catheterization. Methods A prospective study with 196 cancer patients was conducted to analyze the types of catheter-related infection and pathogen, as well as the relationship between CRI and the following factors: insert location, gender, age, remained time, or bone marrow suppression. Results Of the total 196 cases, 16 cases were diagnosed as CRI and the CRI rate was 8.2%. The types of CRI were five cases of pathogen colonization, four cases of insert location infection and seven cases of catheter-related bloodstream infection. Of the total 244 specimens, 20 were positive including 7 pathogenic bacteria in either Gram positive or Gram negative types, the dominating pathogens were staphylococcus aureus, staphylococcus epidermidis, acinetobacter baumannii and klebsiella pneumoniae. CRI was related to both insert location and age which were both the independent risk factors. Conclusion The concept of prevention should be set up, and the comprehensive measures should be taken to reduce CRI, such as choosing an appropriate insert location and complying with a strict catheter insert standard.

  • A clinical study of second central venous catheterization in tunnel dialysis catheter dysfunction with fibrin sheath

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of second central venous catheterization in tunnel cuffed dialysis catheter (TCC) dysfunction with fibrin sheath.MethodA total of 14 maintenance hemodialysis patients who required second central venous catheterization were enrolled in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from June 2016 to June 2017 and the clinical information and procedure-related complications were recorded.ResultsAll of the 14 patients were successfully performed with second central venous catheterization, of whom 4 cases had superior vena cava cannulation, 7 cases had right brachiocephalic vein cannulation, 2 cases had internal jugular vein cannulation, and 1 case had external jugular vein cannulation. No procedure-related major complication occurred. During the follow-up, catheter malfunction occurred in 2 cases, which improved by urokinase seal and catheter change, respectively. The rest patients’ catheter function remained normal.ConclusionsWith increasing difficult to construction and maintenance of vascular access, preservation of central vein resource is of high importance. For patients with TCC dysfunction with fibrin sheath, second central venous catheterization based on percutaneous brachiocephalic vein or superior vena cava cannulation is a safe and effective method to establish the lifeline for hemodialysis patients.

  • Research on real-time detection system of catheter delivering force in vascular interventional robots

    In existing vascular interventional surgical robots, it is difficult to accurately detect the delivery force of the catheter/guidewire at the slave side. Aiming to solve this problem, a real-time force detection system was designed for vascular interventional surgical (VIS) robots based on catheter push force. Firstly, the transfer process of catheter operating forces in the slave end of the interventional robot was analyzed and modeled, and the design principle of the catheter operating force detection system was obtained. Secondly, based on the principle of stress and strain, a torque sensor was designed and integrated into the internal transmission shaft of the slave end of the interventional robot, and a data acquisition and processing system was established. Thirdly, an ATI high-precision torque sensor was used to build the experimental platform, and the designed sensor was tested and calibrated. Finally, sensor test experiments under ideal static/dynamic conditions and simulated catheter delivery tests based on actual human computed tomography (CT) data and vascular model were carried out. The results showed that the average relative detection error of the designed sensor system was 1.26% under ideal static conditions and 1.38% under ideal dynamic stability conditions. The system can detect on-line catheter operation force at high precision, which is of great significance towards improving patient safety in interventional robotic surgery.

  • Characteristics of the Pathogens Causing Catheter-associated Urinary Tract Infection in Critically Ill Patients

    ObjectiveTo investigate the species and resistance phenotypes of the pathogens causing catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) in critically ill patients in West China Hospital of Sichuan University, and to provide the basis for the prevention and treatment of this kind of infection. MethodsThe clinical data and findings of the laboratory examination of the patients, who were admitted to intensive care units and suffered from CAUTI in our hospital during January 2012 to December 2014, were retrospectively analyzed. The pathogens isolates from the urine specimens of the patients with CAUTI and their resistance phenotypes were analyzed. ResultsThree hundred and seventy patients suffering from CAUTI were included in this study. Five hundred and seventeen strains of pathogens were isolated from the urine specimens of these patients, including 222 isolates (42.9%) of fungus, 181 isolates (35.0%) of gram negative bacteria, and 114 isolates (22.0%) of gram positive bacteria. In terms of species distribution, Candida albicans (105 isolates, 20.3%), C.glabrata (78 isolates, 15.1%) and C.glabrata (30 isolates, 5.8%) were the predominant fungus. Among the gram negative bacteria, Escherichia coli (81 isolates, 15.7%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (37 isolates, 7.2%), and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii complex (23 isolates, 4.4%) were the main species. Enterococcus faecium (79 isolates, 15.3%) and E.faecalis (13 isolates, 2.5%) were the frequently isolated gram positive bacteria. Analysis of the resistance phenotype showed that the resistance rates to itraconazole, voriconazole and fluconazole of Candida spp. were above 10%. Thirty percent of the isolates of E.coli and K.pneumoniae, and 60% of the isolates of A.calcoaceticus-Baumannii complex were resistant to many of the regular antibiotics. Imipenem resistance rate of A.calcoaceticus-Baumannii complex was 60.8%. Sixty percent of the isolates of E.faecium and E.faecalis were resistant to many of the regular antibiotics. The vancomycin-resistant isolates accounted for 16.5% of E.faecium and 31.0% of E.faecalis. ConclusionCandida species are the major pathogens for CAUTI in critically ill patients in our hospital and show the resistance to azoles. We should focus on the drug resistance of gram negative bacteria and gram positive bacteria. The rational use of antibiotics and application of effective infection control measures are important to decrease the CAUTI.

  • Targeted Surveillance of Nosocomial Infection in Intensive Care Unit

    ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence of nosocomial infection and device-related infection in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), analyze its related risk factors, and search for effective measures to prevent and control nosocomial infection. MethodsBy prospective objective monitoring method, we surveyed 294 patients hospitalized in the ICU for at least 48 hours between January and December 2012. The doctor in charge filled in relevant information of the patients to complete the questionnaires, and hospital infection management staff was responsible for tracking, judging, and statistical analysis. ResultsIn the 294 patients, 61 had hospital infections, and there were 78 cases. The hospital infection rate was 20.75%, and the case infection rate was 26.53%. The day incidence of patient infection was 16.01‰, and day infection rate was 20.47‰ for infection cases. After average severity of illness score adjustment, the day case infection rate was 7.48%, ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) infection rate was 27.27‰, central venous catheter associated bloodstream infection rate was 6.58‰, and catheter associated urinary tract infection rate was 3.15‰. ConclusionICU has a high risk of hospital infection. In the device related infections, VAP infection rate is the highest. Continuous improvement can be achieved through monitoring and discovering problems, strengthening hospital infection management training for the medical personnel of the hospital, close communication between doctors and hospital infection management staff, and strict implementation of hospital infection management measures.

  • Analysis of urination and influencing factors of urodynia after urinary catheter removal in orthopedic patients

    Objective To understand the urination of orthopedic patients after the catheter is removed, and to explore the influencing factors of urodynia. Methods Convenient sampling was used to select 160 patients who underwent surgical treatment in the Department of Orthopedics of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from May to July 2020. Questionnaires were used to investigate the patients’ urination, and a logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting the patients’ urodynia. Results A total of 157 patients urinated by themselves after the catheter was removed, with 102 cases of dysuria. Logistic regression results showed that male [odds ratio (OR)=0.282, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.092, 0.863), P=0.027], Huaxi Emotional-Distress Index score [OR=1.407, 95%CI (1.124, 1.760), P=0.003] and intraoperative fluid infusion [OR=1.001, 95%CI (1.000, 1.002), P=0.014] were the influencing factors of urodynia. Conclusion Most orthopedic patients can urinate on their own after the catheter is removed, but more than half of the patients experience urodynia during the first urination. Gender, mental status and intraoperative fluid infusion are the influencing factors of urodynia after urinary catheter removal after surgery. Clinical nursing staff should identify these influencing factors as soon as possible and carry out targeted interventions to improve the success rate of patients with urination after removing the catheter, reduce the incidence of urodynia, and promote the recovery of patients.

  • The Efficacy and Safety of Conventional Methods Combined with Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis for Acute Deep Vein Thrombosis of Lower Extremity: A Meta-Analysis

    ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the additional catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) and conventional treatment (CT) for treatment primary deep vein thrombosis. MethodsDatabases such as CNKI, WanFang Data, Pubmed, EMBASE.com, Medline, CBM, CSJD, CJFD, and the Cochrane Library were electronically searched from the date of their establishment to 30 June, 2013, and the relevant literatures and conference proceedings were also manually searched to include randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on comparison of additional CDT versus CT for primary deep vein thrombosis. Two reviewers independently screened studies according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and accessed the methodological quality of the included studies. Then the meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.1 software. Publication bias was assessed by STATA software. A meta-regression model was used to describe between study variability. ResultsTwo RCTs including 3 literatures contain 224 patients reporting data on safety and efficacy of CDT versus CT were included. There were no publication bias (Begg'S test, Z=1.02. P > 0.05;Egger'S test, t=0.98, P > 0.05). The results of meta-analysis showed that:in 6 months after surgery iliofemoral vein patency rate of CDT group was higher than that of CT group (OR=3.62, 95% CI:1.51-8.64, P=0.004), in 6 months after surgery CDT group with a lower rate than CT group of the iliofemoral vein occlusion and (or)venous reflux rate (OR=0.24, 95% CI:0.11-0.53, P=0.000), and the incidence rate of PTS in 24 months after surgery in CTD group was less than that of CT group (OR=0.55, 95% CI:0.31-0.96, P=0.040). There were no statistically significant of the major complications after surgery between CDT group and CT group (OR=1.34, 95% CI:0.12-15.69, P=0.810). But the incidence rates of minor complications and total complications after surgery in CT group were lower than those of CDT group (OR=13.67, 95% CI:4.08-45.83, P < 0.00 01 and OR=11.67, 95% CI:4.40-30.99, P < 0.000 01). ConclusionsCDT is a effective and positive way to treat early deep venous thrombosis especially in terms of the patency of vascular and prevent the occlusion and PTS. Due to the limitation of the included studies, large sample size, multicenter, and high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion, such as the ATTRACT Study. The intracavitary therapy could be applied to clinic combining individual conditions of patients.
