A Protocol to Set Up Needle-Free Connector with Positive Displacement on Central Venous Catheter in Intensive Care Unit

Needle-free connectors were initially designed and promoted to avoid blood exposure for healthcare workers. Some recent data suggest that the latest ...

The mortality of overwhelming postsplenectomy infections (OPSI) is significant (50 to 80 percent). Capnocytophaga canimorsus belongs to the normal oral flora of dogs and cats. It is seldom responsible for human infections, but its prognosis is bad (about 30 percent of overall mortality), especially in asplenic patients. We report a case of a splenectomized patient who suffered from communal septic shock due to C. canimorsus septicaemia. The course of events was rapidly fatal. Diagnosis and mode of contamination were determined only a few weeks after the patient's death. This late microbiological diagnosis is due to a slow growth of C. canimorsus in vitro.

Pre-oxygenation with high-flow nasal cannula oxygen therapy and non-invasive ventilation for intubation in the intensive care unit.

Central venous catheter-related infections (CRIs) are a complication of central venous catheters in intensive care unit (ICU). Some needle-free connectors have been designed to decrease CRI, but there is a lack of data concerning their impact on infection.
