Abstract
Objective
To provide a comprehensive summary of evidence on prevention strategies for catheter-related infections among cancer patients with home parenteral nutrition.
Methods
A systematic literature search was conducted for identifying prevention strategies for catheter-related infections among cancer patients with home parenteral nutrition, including clinical decisions, guidelines, best practices, expert consensus, evidence summaries, and systematic reviews. The search period includes publications from January 2000 to April 2024.
Results
Seven articles were included in the review, comprising four guidelines, one expert consensus, and two systematic reviews. This resulted in the identification of five evidence themes and 33 best evidence statements, addressing safety and monitoring, team and education training, hand hygiene and aseptic techniques, catheter and exit site selection, and catheter care and protection.
Conclusions
This evidence summary identifies the prevention of catheter-related infections in home parenteral nutrition, and offers valuable resources for clinical application and guidance for preventing infections among cancer patients receiving home parenteral nutrition.
