Central venous catheterization (CVC)-related venous thrombosis is a common but serious clinical complication, thus prevention and treatment on this problem should be extensively investigated. In this research, we aimed to investigate the incidence rate of CVC-related venous thrombosis in senile patients and give a further discussion on the related risk factors and predictors. A total of 324 hospitalized senile male patients subjected to CVC were selected. Retrospective investigation and analysis were conducted on age, underlying diseases, clinical medications, catheterization position and side, catheter retention time, and incidence of CVC-related venous thrombosis complications. Basic laboratory test results during catheterization and thrombogenesis were also collected and analyzed. Among the 324 patients, 20 cases (6.17%) of CVC-related venous thrombosis were diagnoseds. The incidence rate of CVC-related venous thrombosis in subclavian vein catheterization was significantly lower than that in femoral vein catheterization (P<0.01) and that in internal jugular vein catheterization (P<0.05). No statistically significant difference was found between femoral vein catheterization and internal jugular vein catheterization (P<0.05). Previous venous thrombosis history (P<0.01), high lactate dehydrogenase level (P<0.01), low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level (P<0.05), and low albumin level (P<0.05) were found as risk factors or predictors of CVC-related venous thrombosis in senile male patients. Subclavian vein catheterization was the most appropriate choice among senile patients to decrease the incidence of CVC-related venous thrombosis. Previous venous thrombosis history, high lactate dehydrogenase level, low HDL level, and low albumin level were important risk factors in predicting CVC-related venous thrombosis.

Importance: The current definition of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) may overestimate the true incidence of CLABSI as it is often unclear whether the bloodstream infection (BSI) is secondary to the central line or due to another infectious source.
Objectives: We aimed to assess the prevalence and outcomes of central CLABSI at our institution, to identify opportunities for improvement, appropriately direct efforts for infection reduction, and identify gaps in the CLABSI definition and its application as a quality measure.
Design Setting And Participants: Retrospective cross-sectional study of patients identified to have a CLABSI in the period 2018-2022 cared for at the value-based purchasing (VBP) units of a 1200-bed tertiary care hospital located in Cleveland, OH.

Rationale & Objective: Patients on hemodialysis using a central venous catheter (CVC) are often advised not to shower due to infection risk. This study aimed to assess practices and attitudes of patients and healthcare providers about showering with CVCs.

Recurrent Thromboembolism in Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease: Cumulative Incidence and Prognostic Factors.

Article Synopsis
- Congenital heart disease (CHD) significantly increases the risk of thromboembolism (TE) in children, with a study finding that 33% of affected patients experienced recurrent TE within a year.
- Among the risk factors identified, immobility and the presence of central venous catheters (CVC) were strongly associated with a higher likelihood of recurrence, demonstrating the need for careful monitoring and management in this population.
- The study calls for larger multicenter research to further validate these findings and improve understanding of TE recurrence in pediatric patients with CHD.

A central venous catheter (CVC) was placed in the left internal jugular vein of a woman in her late 20s, who was admitted to our intensive care unit during the management of her abdominal wall sepsis. Two days later, the patient had pain at the insertion site. Check aspiration revealed the presence of aspirate from all the lumens except the distal lumen.

Introduction: The aim of this observational study was to investigate the risk factors of a failed first attempt at pediatric central venous catheter (CVC) placement and its impact on CVC-related morbidity.
Materials And Methods: In this prospective observational study, we included 3-month-to 5-year-old children proposed for infraclavicular subclavian vein catheterization consecutively sing the anatomic landmark technique. Patients were divided into two groups: group 1 included single-attempt catheter placements, and Group 2 included failed first attempts at catheter placement.
