Hemodialysis patients with a catheter have a 2- to 3-fold
increased risk of for infection and death compared with patients
with an arteriovenous fistula or graft.
.
1-Exit site infection
-Definition 1-Hyperemia, induration, and/or tenderness ≤2 cm
from catheter exit site.
2-May be associated with fever and purulent
drainage from the exit site .
3-It may or may not be associated with bacteremia
-If there is purulent
drainage
It should be collected and sent for Gram staining
and culture before antibiotic administration .
Draw blood sample for blood culture
-The patient should be
investigated for nasal
carriage of
Staphylococcus
If present, treated with
intranasal mupirocin
cream
Twice a day to each
nostril for 5 days
Empiric antibiotic
-Exit site
without fever
-Topical antibiotic +/ - systemic antibiotic
-Modify the antibiotic regimen once culture and sensitivity result available
-Duration 7 to 14 days
Depending on the microorganism isolated .
If the infection
persists after
an initial course of
systemic antibiotics
2-Tunnel infection
Definition 1-Tenderness, hyperemia, and/or induration that extends
>2 cm from the exit site and along the subcutaneous
tunnel.
2-It may or may not be associated with bacteremia .
If there is
purulent
drainage
It should be collected and sent for Gram staining and
culture .
Draw blood sample for blood culture
Empiric Treatment
Start broad spectrum empiric antibiotics to cover both gram-positive and
negative organisms .
Modify antibiotic regimen when culture and sensitivity results are available.
Duration In the absence of a concurrent CRBSI
Are typically treated for 10 to 14 days
Depending on the microorganism isolated and local practice.
Duration If a CRBSI is also present
The duration of therapy will be as CRBSI
Catheter
removal
The catheter
should always
be removed,
without
exchange over
a guidewire
A new
catheter
should be
inserted at a
separate
site.
3-Catheter related
blood stream infection
(CRBSI )
1-Suspect CRSBI in patient with
-Fever and/or chills
-Hemodynamic instability, altered mental status, and other symptoms
and/or signs of sepsis , such as hypothermia, acidosis, and hypotension
Not related to another infection site .
2- Paired Blood Culture ( prior to antibiotic initiation )
therapy )
1- Peripheral + central from catheter hub ( if catheter retained )
2-Centeral from the catheter + dialysis circuit ( from hemodialysis line )
in case of peripheral vein absent
3- Peripheral + catheter tip if catheter removed ( distal 5 cm from tip )
Consideration for blood sample
1-Obtain samples for blood culture prior to the initiation of antibiotic therapy
2-Marke the bottles to reflect the site from which the samples were obtained
(catheter and peripheral vein ) .
3- For percutaneously drawn blood samples
Skin preparation with use of alcohol or alcoholic chlorhexidine( 10.5%)
(allow adequate skin contact and drying times to mitigate blood culture
contamination )
4-Peripheral blood samples should be from vessels that are not intended for
future use in creating a dialysis fistula (e.g., hand veins)
5-If a blood sample is obtained through a catheter
Clean the catheter hub with either alcohol or tincture of iodine or alcoholic
chlorhexidine (10.5%)
6-The volume of the locking solution should be removed prior to blood culture
collection .
3-Empiric antimicrobial therapy for hemodialysis catheter related
blood stream infection
CRBSI result from a broad array of Gram positive and Gram
negative organism
Gram +ve microorganisms -Staphylococcus aureus ( MSSA or
MRSA)
-Enetrococci
- Coagulase negative Staphylococci
Gram -ve bacill -Pseudomonas species and others
Fungi -Candida species
Polymicrobial --------------------------------------------------
Others --------------------------------------------------
-Choice of antimicrobial agent for CRBSI based on coverage of
Gram +ve bactria + Gram -ve bactria +/- fungal infection
M.O Antimicrobial agent
For Gram
+ve M.O
- Cefazolin ( MSSA )
- Vancomycin or teicoplanin (if risk of MRSA )
For Gram
-ve M.O
- 3rd generation cephalosporin :Ceftazidim
- 4th generation cephalosporin :Cefepime
- Beta lactam / Beta lactamase inhibitor :Piperacillin /Tazobactam
- Carbapenem : (Imipenem / cilastatin )-Meropenem
Fungal
infection
Fluconazole
( if risk for C.glabarata – C .Krusei is low )
(If no previous exposure in the last 3 months )
Amphotericin
Indication for
fungal
infection
Septic patient with following risk factor
1- Prolonged use of broad spectrum antibiotic
2-Femoral catheter
3- Hematological malignancy
4-Bone marrow or organ transplant
5-TPN
6-Colonization of candida at multiple site
-Fever
-Chills
-Hemodynamic instability
-Or altered mental status
Resolve within 2-3 days and there is no metatstatic infection or
exit siteinfection or tunnel infection .
The catheter can be retained,
and an antibiotic lock can be
used as adjunctive therapy
after each dialysis session for
10–14 days
The infected catheter can
be exchanged over a
guidewire for a new,
longterm hemodialysis
catheter
Definitive diagnosis of dialysis catheter-induced bacteremia requires
one of
-Concurrent positive blood cultures of the same organism from the catheter and a
peripheral vein.
-Culture of the same organism from both the catheter tip and at least one
percutaneous blood culture
CRSBI diagnosis unlikely
Booth sets of initial blood cultures have negative results
If there is no other identified source of infection and signs and symptoms of
bacteremia have resolved Stopping empiric therapy
1-De- escalation to single antibiotic once culture available.
2-Patients who receive empirical vancomycin or
teicoplanin and who are found to have CRBSI due to
methicillin-susceptible S. aureus should be switched to
cefazolin .
3-Patients who have CRBSI due to vancomycin- resistant
enterococci can be treated with oral linezolid .
If peripheral blood culture –ve and catheter culture +ve
Antibiotic are not generaly recommended
The exception is patients whose catheter tips grow S.
aureus and have negative blood culture
These patients should receive 5–7 days of antibiotic

A-Placement of a temporary non-tunneled catheter is typically
the best alternative option for short-term dialysis
access.
B- A temporary nontunneled catheter should be inserted into another
anatomical site .
C- If absolutely no alternative sites are available for catheter insertion, then
exchange the infected catheter over a
guidewire.
D-After a hemodialysis catheter is removed for CRBSI, a long-term
hemodialysis catheter can be placed once blood cultures with negative results
are obtained.

-Not diabetic
-Not immune suppressed

drugs , and is non neutropenic)

-If fever and bacteremia resolve within 72 hr after initiation of
antimicrobial therapy

Candida SPP 14 days after 1st –ve blood culture
Endocarditis 4–6-week
Septic thrombophlebitis 4–6-week
Osteomyelitis 6–8 weeks of therapy
(ALT) involves instillation of a highly concentrated antibiotic solution
into an intravascular catheter lumen
For CRBSI, antibiotic lock should not be used alone; instead, it should be used in
conjunction with systemic antimicrobial therapy .
Antibiotic lock is indicated for patients with CRBSI involving long-term catheters with
no signs of exit site or tunnel infection for whom catheter salvage is the goal
The antibiotic/heparin lock solution is prepared immediately before instillation
into the catheter lumen
The antibiotic lock should be replaced every 48 hours, after each HD session
This mixture of antibiotic and anticoagulant is then instilled ("locked") into
each catheter lumen at the end of each dialysis session, in place of standard
heparin locks, for the duration of the systemic antibiotic ( 10- 14 days ).
