Multilumen central venous catheters are commonly used in hospitalized patients. This study evaluated the incidence of bacterial or fungal growth from the tips of 119 catheters removed for mechanical failure, no longer needed, or suspected catheter sepsis. Results showed an overall catheter contamination (less than 15 colonies) rate of 23.5 per cent and an overall catheter infection (greater than 15 colonies) rate of 14.3 per cent. Use of these catheters for delivering nutritional support solutions should be minimized or avoided.
多腔中心静脉导管常用于住院患者。本研究评估了119根因机械故障、不再需要或疑似导管败血症而拔除的导管尖端细菌或真菌生长的发生率。结果显示，导管总体污染（菌落数少于15个）率为23.5%，导管总体感染（菌落数多于15个）率为14.3%。应尽量减少或避免使用这些导管输送营养支持溶液。
