| Popis: |
A totally implantable system for venous access has been implanted in 65 children with chronic disease requiring repeated or/and prolonged intravenous therapy. The experiences are described. They indicate that the use of wide catheters (internal diameter greater than or equal to 0.76 mm) and a position of the catheter in the vena cava superior/right atrium rarely give complications, besides a relatively low incidence of sepsis. The children accept the use of the system very well and the easy venous access decreases their emotional stress during a long period of intensive therapy. |
