    We evaluated the outcome of attempted Hickman catheter salvage in these patients who were not given antibiotic lock therapy. Outcomes were retrospectively analyzed in all neutropenic cancer patients with Hickman catheter-related SAB over a 12-year period (56 episodes in 54 patients). Salvage attempt...

    Hans-Dietrich HD Polaschegg

    Blood Purif 26(3):255-60 (2008) PMID 18391485

    The theory predicts the beginning of spillage when 50% of the catheter filling volume is injected. When the nominal filling volume is injected, 25% of the solution is spilled and the mean concentration at the catheter tip is 50% of the locking solution concentration. EXPERIMENTS: Spillage was slight...
