We report the first prospective study of polyurethane cuffed CVCs in children. Sixty Cuff Caths were placed in 53 children, mean age 4.7 years (range, 4 days to 16.3 years), mean weight 15.6 kg (range, 3.1 to 58 kg). All CVCs were tunnelled (mean tunnel length, 12 cm; range, 5 to 20 cm) and inserted either into the subclavian vein (n = 28) or internal jugular vein (n = 32). In a total of 6363 catheter days (mean, 111 days per patient; range, 15 to 364 days), three (5%) CVCs had to be removed because of sepsis and one (2%) because of blockage. All other Cuff Caths remained patent to infusion and blood sampling. No Cuff Caths were pulled or fell out, fractured, or migrated. This study demonstrates significant advantages of polyurethane compared with previous series using silicone CVCs with respect to blockage, fragmentation, and dislodgement. A prospective, randomized, controlled trial of Cuff Cath compared with a silicone CVCs in children is required.
