17 Jan POSITIVE EVIDENCE OF USING THE CVC DRESSINGS WITH SILVER IONS
The first choice of vascular access for haemodialysis patients is usually an arteriovenous fistula.
When an AVF access is difficult to implement or there are contraindications, the most common alternative is a central venous catheter. This however, poses a greater risk of infection for the patient and a relative increase in hospital costs.
The best way to reduce the risk of infection is, without doubt, to develop a series of prevention measures that involve both patients and healthcare professionals.
Another ally in the prevention of infections are CVC dressings that release silver ions, such as EXIT-PAD®AG, which when applied to the CVC insertion point resulted in a regression of the infection and a reduction of the skin lesion.
