Acid wash for catheters: a new hope to fight stubborn infections in cancer care
NCT ID NCT05376566
Summary
This study tested whether flushing a patient's central line catheter with a hydrochloric acid solution could help treat serious bloodstream infections. It involved 212 cancer and blood disorder patients in Denmark. Alongside standard antibiotics, patients were randomly assigned to receive either the acid lock treatment or a harmless saline placebo to see which was better at clearing the infection and saving the catheter.
