ABSTRACT
We analyzed the use of non-tunneled (polyurethane double lumen) central venous catheters (CVCs) in 62 children undergoing bone marrow transplantation. The catheters were inserted in the Critical Care Unit without surgery or general anesthesia. The complications were pneumothorax in two patients and hemopneumothorax in two other patients (6.06%), entry site infection in six patients (9.6%), catheter-related infection in eight patients (12.9%) and catheter-related sepsis in nine patients (14.5%). The catheters were removed upon completion of therapy in 46 patients (74.1%), death in seven patients (11.3%) and in nine cases (14.5%) for infection. Despite the complications specific to non-tunneled catheter insertion, we believe this is indicated for patients during conditioning, transplantation and immediate post-transplantation periods.
