The authors discuss the use of a cuffed, Silastic catheter, which can be of great value in the reduction of morbidity when dealing with lower extremity infections. When a patient's condition demands the use of long-term antibiotic and/or aminoglyoside therapy, this indwelling central venous catheter can allow easy access to the vascular system and markedly decrease the amount of time the patient has to stay in the hospital. This form of therapy involves the patient in the treatment and displays no mortality and minimal morbidity associated with catheter placement and care.
作者们讨论了带 cuff 的硅橡胶导管的使用，在处理下肢感染时，它对于降低发病率可能具有很大价值。当患者的病情需要长期使用抗生素和/或氨基糖苷类药物治疗时，这种留置中心静脉导管能够方便地接入血管系统，并显著减少患者的住院时间。这种治疗方式让患者参与到治疗过程中，且与导管置入和护理相关的死亡率为零，发病率极低。
