Antimicrobial activity of hemodialysis catheter lock solutions in relation to other compounds with antiseptic properties.

Proper protection of vascular access after haemodialysis is one of the key measures for the prevention of catheter-related infections. Various substances with bactericidal and anticoagulant properties are used to fill catheters, but due to the unsatisfactory clinical effects and occurrence of advers...
