Abstract

Background: Long term intravenous access is a common requirement for cancer patients. Totally implantable central venous access devices (ports) in pediatric oncology patients have been used for over 15 years and have achieved wide acceptance. This analysis was designed to determine lessons learned from ten years experience with subcutaneous infusion ports. Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of insertion technique and reasons for removal of all ports placed in pediatric oncology patients at a single center between 1993 and 2002 . Beside demographics of the cases, complications in everyday use have been investigated. Results: One hundred fifty eight ports were inserted in one hundred fifty two patients at our institute were followed prospectively until port removal or death during the study period. The median port catheter application age was 4.6 years with 54,800 catheter usage days totally. Fifty two per cent of the cases were diagnosed as acute lymphoblastic leukemia while other 25 per cent suffered from solid tumours. The right external jugular vein was the most common access route. The total complication rate was determined as 11 % in this series. Conclusions: Subcutaneous infusion ports can provide comfort and satisfactory central venous access for the majority of pediatric oncology patients.

Özet

Önbilgi: Malign hastalıkların tedavisinde uzun süreli intravenöz yol genel bir gereksinimdir. Total implantabl santral venöz kateterler (portlar) pediatrik onkoloji kliniklerince son 15 yıldır giderek artan oranda kabul görmektedir. Bu çalışma son 10 yıldır kliniğimizce uygulanan subkütan infüzyon port kullanımına ait klinik verilerin ve deneyimlerin ortaya çıkarılması amacı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yöntem: Çalışmada 1993-2002 yılları arasında kliniğimizce uygulanan subkütan infüzyon port olgu kayıtları retrospektif olarak incelenmiştir. Olgulara ait demografik bilgiler yanında, kullanım esnasında ortaya çıkan komplikasyonların belirlenmesine önem verilmiştir. Bulgular: On yıllık dönem içersinde 152 olguya toplam 158 subkütan infüzyon portu uygulanmıştır. Median uygulama yaşı 4.6 yıl olup toplam kateter kullanım gün sayısı 54.800 gündür. Olguların % 52'si Akut lenfoblastik lösemi, % 25'i solid tümör tanısı almıştır. Kateter kullanımında en çok kullanılan vasküler yol ise, sağ eksternal juguler ven (% 65) olarak saptanmıştır. Tüm komplikasyonlar birlikte değerlendirildiğinde komplikasyon oranı yaklaşık % 11 düzeyindedir. Sonuç: Subkütan infüzyon portları çocukluk çağı malignitelerinin tedavisinde hasta konforunu arttırarak başarı ile kullanılmaktadır.
