내과계 중환자실 환자에서 Chlorhexidine-silver Sulfadiazine Coated Catheter의 중심정맥관 감염에 대한 연구

Background : Central venous catheters(CVCs) area major source of nosocomial infection. Chlorhexidine-silver sulfadiazine coated catheters (CHSS) were developed to reduce the rate of CVC infection. However, the clinical effectiveness of CHSS in comparison wth non-coated catheter (NCC) remains to be evaluated. Methods : From January 2004 to December 2004 in medical intensive care unit (ICU) of Asan Medical Center, CVCs were inserted in 446 cases. We retrospectively analyzed characteristics of patients and catheterization,the catheter-related infection rate and colonization, microbiologic findings, and insertion sites (subclavian, jugular, femoral) according to the type of inserted CVCs (NCC: 187 cases, CHSS: 259 cases). Catheter related infection is defined as catheter related bacteremia and catheter related non-bacteremic sepsis. Results : 1) The mean age of the patients in each group was $62{\pm}16$ years, $63{\pm}15$ years (p=0.42), and sex ratio 94:50, 141:69 (p=0.9) in NCC and CHSS. Duration of ICU admission ($29{\pm}37$, $26{\pm}44$ p=0.42), duration of mechanical ventilation ($17{\pm}22$, $15{\pm}19$ p=0.17), and APACHE III score at the time of CVC insertion ($81{\pm}34$, $82{\pm}37$ p=0.61) were not different between both groups. 2) Mean duration of catheterization was 118 in NCC and 119 in CHSS (p=0.98). Number of catheter-days was 2176 days in NCC and 3035 days in CHSS. Catheter-related infection occurred in 9 (4.8%) cases receiving NCC and 4 cases (1.5%) receiving CHSS. Catheterrelated infection incidence per 1000 catheter-days was 4.1 and 1.3, respectively (p=0.04). CHSS was associated with a significant reduction of infection in jugular catheters regarding to insertion sites (p=0.01). 3) Microorganisms causing infection were Staphylococcus aureus (n=3), Candida (n=3), coagulase-negative Staphylococci (n=2), and Klebsiella (n=1) in NCC, and Candida species (n=2), coagulase-negative Staphylococci (n=2), Proteus (n=1) in CHSS. Conclusion : CHSS has significantly reduced the episodes of infection compared to NCC in jugular catheterization in medical ICU. 목 적 : 중환자실 환자에서 중심정맥관 관련 감염증은 원내 감염의 주요 부분을 차지한다. 이러한 중심 정맥관 관련 감염증을 감소시키기 위하여 chlorhexidine-silver sulfadiazine coated catheter (CHSS) 사용에 대한 임상적 유용성에 대해서는 논란의 여지가 있지만, 국내에서는 아직 이와 관련된 보고가 없었다. 본 연구는 non-coated catheter (NCC)와 CHSS의 중심 정맥관 관련 감염증의 차이를 비교하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 2004년 1월부터 12월까지 12개월간 서울아산병원 내과계 중환자실에 입원하여 48시간 이상 중심정맥관을 삽입하였던 446 예을 대상으로 하였다. NCC(n=187)과 CHSS (n=259)에서 중심정맥관과 환자의 특성, 중심정
