Abstract
reducing catheter related infections. No data are available on the effectiveness of sodium hypochlorite. Explorative study
of children and new-born babies treated in hospital to ascertain bacterial contamination levels of PVC tips as surrogate
infection indicator. In a sample of 51 children and 52 new-born babies, catheter tips were found contaminated for 7.8% of
the children and 3.8% of the new-born babies. The positive results of this pilot study suggest that serious consideration
should be given to assessing Amukine Med 0.05% for use with PVCs.
