Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this study is to verify whether extensive flushing of the port catheter in patients with catheter related blood stream infection will lead to correct vancomycin trough levels, taken via the port catheter and compared with simultaneously taken peripheral samples.


Clinical Trial Description

In this study, extensive flushing of the port catheter prior to blood sampling to determine vancomycin trough levels, will be compared with normal flushing. To ascertain correctness of the trough levels taken via the central catheter, sampling will occur through a peripheral catheter simultaneously.

Flushing will be done with sodium chloride 0.9 % solution. ;
