Each day a venous catheter is retained poses unnecessary safety risks. In a retrospective evaluation of central/peripheral lines in nursing home residents receiving antibiotics, 80% were retained beyond antibiotic treatment end and nearly one third were retained longer than a week. Interventions for timely catheter removal are urgently needed.
静脉导管留置的每一天都会带来不必要的安全风险。在一项对接受抗生素治疗的养老院居民的中心/外周静脉导管的回顾性评估中,80%的导管在抗生素治疗结束后仍被留置,近三分之一的导管被留置超过一周。迫切需要采取措施及时拔除导管。
