Ethanol lock in the management of catheter occlusion.

Catheter occlusion by lipid material has been associated with the use of lipid containing "all-in-one" compounded solutions during prolonged parenteral nutrition. Previous experience indicated that urokinase is ineffective in clearing such occlusions. We report five patients who developed catheter occlusion with lipid mixes; catheter patency was restored in four by the use of an ethanol solution. No complications were observed, and treatment continued uneventfully in those four subjects.

Catheter tip position in central vein thrombosis.

Clinical central venous thrombosis (CVT) was found to be associated with a catheter tip position in the superior vena cava (SVC), but not in the right atrium (RA), in patients receiving a standard parenteral nutrition regime in which dextrose was the sole energy source. CVT was rare with standard lipid containing three in one mixes, even when the catheter tip lay in the SVC. The reasons for this are discussed and the complications associated with catheter tip position are reviewed.
