Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
This prospective study compares whether the incidence of bacterial colonization and catheter related infections can be reduced using a conventional respectively miconazole-rifampicin incorporated catheter. After using the catheter they are tested microbiologically. Used Catheters with more than 15 colony-forming units are classified as colonized. Number of Patients n=80.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Local/ systemic reactions: flush induration thrombophlebitis elevated CrP-levels Leucopenia/ cytosis catheter related: perforation, obstruction	—
