Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Polymer hemodialysis catheter that can inhibit biofilm formation is important for related infection control.
OBJECTIVE: To review the selection of hemodialysis catheter materials as well as related factors inducing infection and infection control.
METHODS: A computer search of CNKI and PubMed (2005/2011) were performed for articles about hemodialysis catheter materials and related infection control.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Good vascular access is to guarantee the smooth blood dialysis and dialysis full primary condition caused by catheter infections that are very common, including selection of materials, the operation is catheter sterile, infection causes, locations, infection post-processing is the key factor, whether can directly affect the deep vein indwelling catheter is stable and reliable, and the success and can smoothly for blood dialysis reviewed the guarantee, the incidence of catheter related infections cause, prevention and treatment of the latest progress.
