A commercially available polyvinyl chloride intravenous catheter was studied in 9 horses for 3 to 10 days to evaluate the catheter's suitability for use in the horse, to develop a new insertion technique, and to establish a protocol for catheter care. Seven of the animals were clinically normal horses receiving parenteral nutrition; one was a horse with hypocalcemia receiving frequent intravenous injections of calcium gluconate, and one was a clinically normal horse receiving no infusions. The catheter dressings were changed every 48 hours, and an aspirate from the catheter and the catheter tip was cultured at the time of catheter removal. One catheter became infected following a break in the protocol. It was concluded that the polyvinyl catheter is suitable for use in the horse and that the proposed protocol for catheter insertion and maintenance may reduce the likelihood of complications such as catheter sepsis, thrombophlebitis, and embolism.
对一种市售的聚氯乙烯静脉导管在9匹马身上进行了3至10天的研究，以评估该导管在马身上使用的适用性，开发一种新的插入技术，并建立导管护理方案。其中7只动物是接受肠外营养的临床正常马匹；1只是患有低钙血症且频繁静脉注射葡萄糖酸钙的马，还有1只是未接受输液的临床正常马匹。每48小时更换一次导管敷料，并在拔除导管时对导管抽吸物和导管尖端进行培养。有一根导管因违反方案而发生感染。得出的结论是，聚氯乙烯导管适用于马，并且所提议的导管插入和维护方案可能会降低诸如导管败血症、血栓性静脉炎和栓塞等并发症的发生可能性。
