Hemodialysis International Aug 05, 2021

Liu X, Ye H, Zheng X, et al. - A higher risk for catheter-related infections in critically ill patients undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) was observed in relation to catecholamine inotropes use; this was an independent association.

  • A single-center retrospective cohort study with critically ill patients needing CRRT.

  • Patients who received and did not receive catecholamine inotropes for ≥24 h (catecholamine and control groups, respectively) were analyzed.

  • In terms of catheter-related bloodstream infection incidence, no significant between-group difference was found.

  • Increased catheter-related colonization risk was noted in relation to catecholamine inotropes use.
