Acid Clearing

Patients receiving long-term home parenteral nutrition through a subcutaneously tunnelled central venous silastic catheter underwent a trial of 1.5 ml of 2M hydrochloric acid instilled into the catheter each time an episode of catheter sepsis was diagnosed. Four patients had eleven episodes of central venous catheter infection, with the hydrochloric acid clearing the infection on seven occasions, and unblocking the catheter once. The mainstay of therapy for catheter sepsis is removal of the catheter. However, in patients with subcutaneously tunnelled central venous silastic catheters, if reinserting the catheter is anticipated to be a major problem then a small dose of hydrochloric acid in an attempt to clear the infection may be worth a trial.

AbstractStudies published between 1999 and 2011 demonstrated increased blood culture contamination with catheter-drawn cultures compared with percutaneously-drawn cultures. Studies published between 2012 and 2015 reported that use of antiseptic barrier caps on central venous catheter hubs significantly reduces the incidence of catheter-drawn blood culture contamination. Local guidelines regarding sites for blood culture collection should reflect institution-level blood culture contamination rates for percutaneously-drawn and catheter-drawn cultures using currently available technologies that reduce contamination at both sites.
