Catheter infections are a significant problem in pediatric hemodialysis. To reduce infection rates, the use of closed luer-lock access connectors, which create a mechanically and microbiogically closed system while allowing unobstructed blood flow, was implemented Infection rates fell from 7.8 infections per 1000 patient days to 3.65 infections per 1000 patient days after the switch to the closed connector (t = 0.04). The adoption of a closed connector system appeared to produce a significant reduction in bloodstream infections.
导管感染是儿科血液透析中的一个重大问题。为降低感染率，采用了密闭鲁尔锁接入连接器，该连接器在保证血流畅通的同时创建了一个机械和微生物学上的封闭系统。改用密闭连接器后，感染率从每1000个患者日7.8次感染降至每1000个患者日3.65次感染（t = 0.04）。采用密闭连接器系统似乎能显著降低血流感染率。
