(EN) Home parenteral nutrition (DPV) has become a routine part of patients care whose oral intake is reduced or completely eliminated. An integral part of the application of DPV is also the permanent or temporary need for functioning vascular access. Catheter complications negatively affect the quality of life, morbidity and in case of catheter sepsis the patient mortality. In addition it also brings increased costs for therapy and the need for patients re-hospitalization. The main objective of our study is to analyze catheter-related complications and to determine whether use of catheter plugs like TauroLock and TauroLock Hep and Tegaderm CHG antimicrobial dressing affect the incidence of catheter complications with DPV, and whether the incidence of complications is affected by a person who treated the catheter. The secondary objective is to characterize patients with served DPV and types of catheter used for this purpose.The method chosen is a retrospective observational cohort study. The study contains 52 patients with 72 catheters (39 Broviac, 18 PICC and 15 ports). The monitored number of catheter- days in total was 33,875. We conclude that the use TauroLock Hep is effective in the prevention of catheter complications and significantly reduces the overall incidence of all complications (p =...
