Quality Improvement Guidelines for Percutaneous Drainage/Aspiration of Abscess and Fluid Collections

Acil Girisimsel Radyolojik Islemler

“…İşlemin major komplikasyonları (%10) arasında septik şok, bakteriyemi, hemoraji, süperenfeksi-yon ve organ yaralanması bulunmaktadır [8].…”

Infection in pediatric interventional radiology

“…Drainage may be performed if a fluid collection is present and if any of the following are pertinent [21,22]:…”

“…Clinical success is reported in 81-100% of patients with most catheters removed within 3 days [7,8,22]. In up to 11% of patients, complications can occur, including catheter migration, hemorrhage, bacteremia or sepsis, and bowel or pleura injury.…”

“…In up to 11% of patients, complications can occur, including catheter migration, hemorrhage, bacteremia or sepsis, and bowel or pleura injury. Major complications occur in less than 5% [7,8,22].…”

Number and location of drainage catheter side holes: in vitro evaluation

“…1,2 The American College of Radiology and Society of Interventional Radiology's Practice Guidelines suggests catheter drainage of pathological body fluid collections has a curative and partial success rate of 85%. 3,4 Drainage catheters are effective in evacuating fluid collections regardless of their different shapes, lengths, configurations, and variable number of side holes. Catheter drainage efficiency, defined as the volume drained in a given period of time, has been the focus of several in vitro investigations 5e9 ; however, drainage catheter selection by interventional radiologists often depends on their availability and personal preference.…”
