Although routine change of CVP catheters is not recommended by guidelines unless a catheter related infection or a systemic infection without any obvious source is present, this case report demonstrates that catheter related infections can be stealthy, and an identified source of infection (abdominal in this report) should not rule out the possibility of catheter infection.

Abstract

Twenty-eight years old woman admitted with duodenal ulcer perforation and undergone a laparotomy where primary suture and omentoplasty was performed. A central venous catheter was inserted from the right jugular vein for TPN. During follow up, intraabdominal abscesses were drained under CT guidance. Extended spectrum antibiotics were prescribed but severe sepsis could not be prevented. She was transferred to the ICU on the fifty-first day post-op. The CVP catheter was removed on the forty-eighth day of insertion. Culture of the catheter tip was positive for E. coli and Acinetobacter spp. No improvement of the clinical status was observed and thorax CT revealed a trombus lying from the right jugular vein into the right atrium. Thoracotomy was performed for thrombectomy, and activated protein C (APC) was added to the treatment. After forty-eight hours the patient recovered from septic shock and was transferred to the ward. Although routine change of CVP catheters is not recommended by guidelines unless a catheter related infection or a systemic infection without any obvious source is present, this case report demonstrates that catheter related infections can be stealthy, and an identified source of infection (abdominal in this report) should not rule out the possibility of catheter infection.

Özet

Doudenal ülser perforasyonu kliniği ile acil servise başvuran 28 yaşında bayan hasta laparotomiye alınarak primer sütür ve omentoplasti operasyonu uygulandı. Postoperatuvar ağızdan beslenmesi kesilen hastaya total parenteral nutrisyon verilmesi amaçlı sağ jugülerden santral venöz kateter takıldı. İzlemde batın içi apseleri gelişen hastaya bilgisayarlı tomografi eşliğinde perkutan drenaj yapılmasına ve uzun dönem geniş spektrumlu antibiyotikler uygulanmasına rağmen hastanın septik tabloya ilerlemesi engellenemeyerek postoperatuvar 51. günde dahiliye yoğun bakıma devredildi. Bu arada hastanın 48. gününde çekilen santral kateterin kültüründen E. coli ve Acinetobacter spp. üremesi oldu. Kateteri çekildikten sonra yoğun bakımda septik tablosu düzelmeyen hastanın yapılan toraks tomografisi tetkikinde sağ jugülerden atriuma uzanan, atrium içini dolduran trombüs saptandı. Hasta acil torakotomiye alınarak trombektomi yapıldı. Bu operasyon sonrası ARDS ve septik şok gelişen hasta entübe edilerek aktive protein C (APC - Drocotegin alfa) tedavisi uygulandı. APC tedavisinin 48. saatinde şok tablosundan çıkan hasta postoperatuvar 80. günde servise devredildi. Kılavuzlarda santral venöz kateterlerin rutin olarak değiştirilmesi önerilmemektedir. Ancak kateter ilişkili enfeksiyon varlığında veya belirgin odağı olmayan sistemik enfeksiyon varlığında kateter değişimi önerilmektedir. Bu olgu aracılığı ile kateter enfeksiyonlarının sinsi seyredeceği, halihazırda enfeksiyon odağı bulunan hastalarda da kateter enfeksiyonu olasılığının akıldan çıkarılmaması gerektiği vurgulanmaktadır.
