Prophylactic Ethanol Lock Therapy (ELT) in Patients on Home Parenteral Nutrition
Stopped early · Phase 1/Phase 2
Conditions studied: Catheter-related Bloodstream Infection (CRBSI) Nos, Bloodstream Infection Due to Central Venous Catheter, Bloodstream Infection Due to Hickman Catheter
In brief
This study is being implemented to identify the role of prophylactic use of ethanol lock in adult patients on home parenteral nutrition (HPN). Central catheter related blood stream infection is a major complication in patients on HPN. The investigators hypothesize that the prophylactic use of ELT will decrease the number of catheter related blood stream infections compared to the control group. The investigators further hypothesize that with the introduction of prophylactic ELT, the number of infections will decrease.
