Effect of heparin-bonded central venous catheters on the incidence of catheter-related thrombosis and infection in children and adults
Free-to-read version at publisher website
Description
The use of central venous catheters, while advantageous, is associated with a range of complications including thrombosis and infection. These complications can pose significant physical and financial costs to the patient and health care system. A critical appraisal of the two randomized controlled trials examining this topic in critically ill patients has shown that heparin-bonded central venous catheters significantly reduced the incidence of catheter-related thrombosis and infection in children and adults. These findings suggest that heparin-bonded central venous catheters should be considered for routine use in critically ill patients.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
