[Should we use catheter replacement with the aid of wire introducer?]
1Service de réanimation chirurgicale, hôpital de Hautepierre, avenue Molière, 67098 Strasbourg cedex, France.
Abstract:
Two types of catheter replacement with the help of wire introducer are reported: systematic scheduled replacement and replacement in case of suspicion of catheter related infection. Guidelines do not recommend systematic scheduled replacement of the catheters. In case of suspicion of catheter infection, French consensus guidelines allow the use of wire introducer in the absence of local risk and of signs of severity. The American guidelines do not recommend the catheter change over guidewire in this setting.
