RESUMEN
Resumen Taurolidina es un antiséptico de amplio espectro usado como solución de terapia de sellado (lock therapy) en adultos y niños portadores de catéter venoso central de larga duración (CVC) para prevenir las infecciones asociadas a CVC (IACVC). No induce desarrollo de resistencia y tiene efectos adversos leves y fugaces, lo que lo convierte en una alternativa, tanto como terapia de sellado como para la profilaxis de las IACVC, en este grupo de pacientes.
ABSTRACT
Taurolidine is a broad-spectrum antiseptic used as lock therapy solution in adult and pediatric patients with long term central venous catheters (CVC) for the prevention of catheter related bloodstream infections (CRBSI). Taurolidine doesn't induce the resistant development and has only minor and brief side effects, which makes it an alternative both as a lock therapy and for the prevention of CRBSI in this group of patients.
