- Abstract
Objective: To value the occurrence of infections in chronic renal failure patients with use of catheter double-lumen temporary (CDL). Methods: Prospective study and follow-up, realized in a Clinical Nephrology, in Recife (PE), Brazil, between the months of January 2009 to December 2010. In this study 88 chronic renal failure patients participated (CRF) and who are undergoing hemodyalisis. Results: the temporary double-lumen catheters enable the execution of the hemodialysis right after implantation, but it presents an inferior operational implant cost in comparison to the fully implantable ones or to the arteriovenous fistula (AVFs). Conclusion: It is prime to raise awareness of the health team regarding cares when implanting and manipulating the catheter (during the hemodialysis sessions and realization of bandages). The patient's hygiene conditions contribute with infectious processes, they need therefore to be informed about infection risks.
