The increased use of tunneled cuffed catheters in children on chronic hemodialysis is the result of their relative ease of insertion, pain-free dialysis and immediate use. The disadvantage of their use is that they are associated with catheter-related bacteremia (CRB), which in turn is related with increased morbidity, access loss and occasionally metastatic infections and even death. A CRB might be difficult to diagnose and is often associated with a previous history of CRB, exit-site infection, low serum albumin and long duration of catheter use. There is evidence that the use of arteriovenous fistulae is associated with lower infection rates. The implementation of effective strategies for the prevention of CRBs include the adoption of policies for improving arteriovenous fistula rates, appropriate surgical catheter insertion and optimal nursing care of the exit site, and a safe connection technique. Recently, the effectiveness of antimicrobial catheter solutions for preventing CRB has been documented in a number of randomized clinical trials. In addition, the application of antibiotic ointments at the exit sites of tunneled cuffed catheters might be significant for the reduction of Staphylococcus-related CRB. The upside is that education-based programs combining specific preventive measures can significantly reduce CRBs.
