Subclavian central venous catheter-related thrombosis in trauma patients: incidence, risk factors and influence of polyurethane type

Abstract: IntroductionThe incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) related to a central venous catheter varies considerably in ICUs depending on the population included. The aim of this study was to determine subclavian central venous catheter (SCVC)-related DVT risk factors in severely traumatized patients with regard to two kinds of polyurethane catheters.MethodsCritically ill trauma patients needing a SCVC for their usual care were prospectively included in an observational study. Depending on the month of inclusion… Show more

“…In a previous study, age was related to CVC-related thrombosis, 2,15 consistent with the present results. Age is a well-known risk factor for thrombosis because of poor circulation, poorer venous valve function, and decreased physical activity.…”

“…Results of studies on dealing with the effect of transfusion therapy and the presence of infection on the frequency of CR-DVT are ambiguous 9,16,[19][20][21] . In our study, we did not observe any relation between transfusion therapy, the presence of infection and a higher incidence of CR-DVT.…”

“…Home parenteral nutrition requires permanent central venous access for intravenous administration of PN solution, which represents an independent risk factor for catheter‐related thrombosis (CRT) in patients with a central venous access because of its composition and high osmolarity . Recurrent CRT is one of the most common complications and may trigger bacterial infections, sepsis, pulmonary embolism or vena cava syndrome, leading to a progressive loss of vascular access and the inability to further continue PN, with the need for intestinal transplantation .…”
