Background: Intestinal failure is a chronic condition related to loss of bowel length and/or
function, resulting in dependence on central venous catheters for fluids and nutrition …

OBJECTIVE: Patients with pediatric intestinal failure (IF) depend on parenteral nutrition for
growth and survival, but are at risk for complications, such as catheter-related bloodstream …

PURPOSE: We sought to determine whether a regimen of 70% ethanol locks could reduce
the rate of central venous catheter (CVC) infections in parenteral nutrition-dependent …

Purpose Children with intestinal failure (IF) requiring central venous catheters (CVCs) often
experience frequent catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs), which is a serious …

Objectives: Parenteral nutrition is essential for the growth and nutrition of patients with
intestinal failure (IF). Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) are a major …

Objectives: Although use of 70% ethanol lock therapy (ELT) has been shown to decrease
the rate of catheter‐related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) in patients with intestinal failure …

Objectives: Ethanol lock therapy (ELT) is effective in reducing rates of catheter-related-
bloodstream infections (CRBSI) in the pediatric intestinal failure (IF) population; however …

Background: Prophylactic ethanol lock therapy (ELT) reduces central line–associated
bloodstream infections (CLA‐BSIs) in children with intestinal failure (IF). However, the risk of …

Central venous catheter (CVC) ethanol locks may reduce catheter‐related bloodstream
infection (CRBSI). Four children with intestinal failure on home parenteral nutrition (HPN) …

Importance Children with intestinal failure are at high risk for developing central catheter–
associated bloodstream infections (CCABSIs) owing to children's chronic dependence on …
