A dual-lumen subclavian catheter was placed for temporary dialysis access in a 36-year-old woman. Clinical suspicion for a possible vena caval perforation by the catheter tip was confirmed by injection of contrast through the catheter. This technique allowed rapid diagnosis and prevented further potential complications related to catheter malposition.

Background Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) using saline was studied to detect supradiaphragmatic central venous catheter malposition. Commonly used echocardiographic views are apical 4-chamber (A4c) and subcostal views. However, this standard method is not feasible in certain situations. We explored the feasibility of the right ventricle inflow parasternal long axis (RVI-PLAX) echocardiographic view and dextrose 50% (D50%) contrast solution for detecting supradiaphragmatic central venous catheter malposition. Method This pilot study screened 60 patients who underwent ultrasound-guided supradiaphragmatic central venous catheter insertion. We compared the investigators' guidewire's J-tip detection, D50% rapid atrial swirl sign (RASS) findings on the RVI-PLAX view and the central venous catheter tip on chest radiograph. We also compared the mean capillary blood sugar level before and after the 5 ml D50% flush. Results No guidewire J-tips were detected from the RVI-PLAX view. The first and second investigators’ diagnosis of central venous catheter malposition detected on RVI-PLAX CEUS achieved an almost perfect agreement (κ = 1.0 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.90 to 1.0), p < .0001). The RVI-PLAX CEUS was not able to detect two central venous catheter malpositions (one atrial malposition and one left brachiocephalic vein venous catheter malposition). The capillary blood sugar was significantly elevated (8.96 mmol/L vs. 9.75 mmol/L) after D50% flush ( p < 0.005) with no complications reported within 30 minutes after the D50% flush. Conclusion RVI-PLAX view should not be used for guidewire detection. CEUS using D50% and RVI-PLAX view are potentially useful tools in detecting central venous catheter malposition. Further studies comparing them with conventional methods are needed.

Abstract Background and Aims Infectious complications are the second leading cause of death in hemodialysis patients. This population is particularly exposed to bacteremia, on the one hand, because of the vascular access necessary for hemodialysis, which is a gateway to the various micro-organisms, and on the other hand, factors of susceptibility to infections. Infective endocarditis (IE) is the cardiac endothelium infection associated with bacteremia. It is a rare complication but its mortality remains high especially in patients on chronic hemodialysis. The aim of this study was to determine the microbiological profile, clinical and-biological profile, characteristics in the ultrasound, therapeutic modalities, and prognosis of IE in hemodialysis. Method This is a retrospective descriptive study of including chronic hemodialysis patients, admitted in the Nephrology and Internal Medicine Department A of the Charles Nicolle Hospital in Tunis for an IE during the period from 1973 to 2018. We used the modified Duke criteria to confirm the diagnosis of IE. Results Nineteen patients were included, including 12 men and 7 women (gender ratio=1.7). The average age was 49.1 years [29-66 years]. Seven of them (37%) were known to have a valvular disease, two of them had a double mitro-aortic valve replacement. Six of them (32%) were diabetic and two patients (11%) were on immunosuppressive therapy. The vascular access initially used for HD were arteriovenous fistula in 9 cases (47%), internal jugular catheter in 3 cases (16%), subclavian catheter in 1 case (5%), Canaud catheter in 3 cases (16%), and 2 patients were dialyzed by femoral catheter (11%). Clinically, all patients had an altered general condition, fever was present in 14 cases (74%) and a heart murmur in 10 cases (53%). Blood cultures were positive in 14 cases (74%). The isolated germs were Staphylococcus Aureus in 8 cases, Staphylococcus epidermidis in 4 cases, Pseudomonas aerogenosa in 3 cases, Enterobacterium in 1 case, enterococcus faecalis in 1 case, and Klebsielle oxytoca in one patient. On cardiac ultrasound, mitral valve damage was found in 10 patients, aortic sigmoid in 4 patients and tricuspid valve in 3 patients. The treatment included appropriate antibiotic therapy in all cases and a valvuloplasty was indicated in 7 patients. Nine patients (47%) died during their hospitalization. Conclusion Hemodialysis patients are particularly exposed to IE. The most appropriate preventive method is the strict observance of asepsis when handling the vascular access first and the rapid eradication of all infectious outbreaks.

Pathophysiology of peritoneal ultrafiltration is analyzed in the present study. Peritoneal equilibration test is the easiest procedure to study in detail the possible causes of failure to control the ultrafiltration rate in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. Membrane failure, reduction in peritoneal blood flow, excessive lymphatic reabsorption catheter malposition, and fluid sequestration are the most common causes of ultrafiltration loss. Pharmacologic manipulation of peritoneal membrane, correction of mechanical inconvenients, reduction in peritonitis rate and in the level of immunostimulation of the mesotelial macrophages, together with a careful policy in terms of glucose concentration in the dialysate and dwell times may contribute not only to treat different forms of ultrafiltration loss but also to prevent their incidence.
