Abstract
A new haemodialysis catheter-care procedure has been reported, including exit-site disinfection with chlorhexidine gluconate that results in a sustained reduction in bacteraemia rates, new intravenous antibiotic starts and sepsis-associated and access-associated hospitalization rates compared with standard care. These findings have potential implications for the prevention of haemodialysis catheter-associated infections.Entities:
