摘要
Catheter occlusion by lipid material has been associated with the use of compounded nutrient solutions containing lipid. We have studied the incidence of catheter occlusion when either a saline or an ethanol flush has been used prior to the application of a heparin lock following an overnight infusion of such nutrients. Lipid occlusion occurred in 13 of 23 catheters when a saline flush preceeded the application of a heparin lock, whereas the use of a 20% ethanol solution before the application of the heparin lock resulted in only 2 occlusoins in 28 catheters (p < 0.001). In addition there was significantly longer catheter survival in the ethanol group (p < 0.01). It is concluded that an ethanol flush may significantly reduce the incidence of catheter occlusion during the use of lipid mixes.
