During a 28 month period, 77 Hickman catheters were inserted in 66 patients with hematological disorders. Complete follow-up was possible for 72 catheter insertions. Catheters remained in situ for a median period of 77 days (range 5-474 days). Fourteen (19%) catheters required removal because of complications which included sepsis, blockage, or displacement. Catheter-related infection was the major complication and Staphylococcus epidermidis and diphtheroids (Corynebacterium species) were the organisms most commonly isolated.
在28个月的时间里，为66例血液系统疾病患者插入了77根希克曼导管。72次导管插入操作均进行了完整的随访。导管在位的中位时间为77天（范围5 - 474天）。14根（19%）导管因包括败血症、堵塞或移位在内的并发症而需要拔除。导管相关感染是主要并发症，表皮葡萄球菌和类白喉杆菌（棒状杆菌属）是最常分离出的微生物。
