Description
CITRATE ANTICOAGULANT UNDERLOADED SYRINGE
FOR CATHETER LOCKING
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed generally to catheter flushing and locking; and more particularly to a method and apparatus for locking a catheter using a citrate anticoagulant underloaded syringe.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed generally to catheter flushing and locking. Flushing assesses catheter capability and removes prior infused medication. Locking a catheter closes respective lumens to prevent blood from entering the lumen.
As stated, flushing is used to clear a catheter lumen of prior medications. Medication incompatibility can produce drug precipitate that occludes the catheter lumen. Flushing with saline between each medication can prevent contact between incompatible drugs and prevent the formation of this occluding precipitate. This concern about drug incompatibility extends to heparin lock solution, used for interluminal anticoagulation.
The volume of heparin necessary to lock a catheter depends on the catheter's priming volume (i.e., total internal volume of the catheter). Standards or practice call for a minimum priming volume normally equal to twice the internal volume of the catheter (all lumens, extensions sets, other accessories). Accordingly, catheter overflow during locking always exists, and is necessary to ensure complete filling of the entire catheter system. The overfill amounts, however, may have negative aspects.
In recent years other products have entered into use to act as an anticoagulant and as an antibacterial agent. Highly concentrated trisodium citrate and citrate derivatives are examples. Citrate can effectively prevent, eliminate, or at least reduce, biofilm production on the catheter lumen surface. However, citrate has a serious drawback - citrate binds with circulating calcium buffer, sometimes causing significant side effects such as cardiac rhythmic disturbances.
Therefore, what is needed in the art is a method to effectively lock a total internal volume of a catheter with a solution, without requiring catheter overflow volumes of the solution that could possibly result in negative consequences.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed generally to catheter flushing and locking, and to a method and apparatus for locking a catheter using a citrate anticoagulant underloaded syringe.
In one aspect, a method of flushing and locking a catheter is provided that involves flushing the catheter, then aspirating the catheter to determine catheter priming volume, then flushing the catheter with a volume equal to at least the catheter priming volume, and finally locking the catheter with a citrate solution having a volume equal to 20% - 80% of the catheter priming volume, wherein the concentration of citrate by volume, relative to the catheter priming volume, is within known lethal pathogenic concentrations, whereby the specific gravity of the citrate solution provides that the citrate solution will effectively mix within and lock the entire catheter priming volume. In this aspect, the catheter can be a PICC catheter, the catheter can be flushed with a saline solution, and/or the citrate solution can include 30% - 46.7% citrate by volume.
In the present invention, citrate is recognized as an effective anticoagulant and antibacterial agent, capably preventing, reducing or eliminating biofilm on a catheter lumen surface. Catheter overfill volumes of citrate can have negative consequences; accordingly, the present invention provides a method and apparatus for catheter locking that avoids citrate overfill.
As mentioned, total interluminal catheter space is known as the "priming volume" of a catheter. The priming volume of a catheter is provided with the catheter by the catheter manufacturer. It is this volume, as provided, that is drawn into a syringe and locked into the catheter (e.g., a routine practice with hemodialysis catheters). However, many PICC and CVC catheters are cut to length by the clinician during insertion. Although the catheters are provided with markings, making calculated adjustments to the provided priming volumes possible, based upon the length cut from the catheter during insertion, a later clinician might not be aware of the prior catheter insertion procedure, and/or whether there was a length adjustment, thereby making it impossible for that clinician to know the actual inserted catheter priming volume. Accordingly, the method of the present invention effectively provides for the locking of a total internal volume of a catheter with a solution, without requiring catheter overflow volumes of the solution that could possibly result in negative consequences.
For the locking citrate solution contemplated by the present invention, a range of antibacterial activity of citrate solutions is known and published that lethal pathogenically concentrations range from 30 to 46.7 percent. Therefore, in one aspect of the present invention, catheter locking is contemplated using a preloaded syringe containing a citrate solution calibrated at a significant volume between 20% - 80% of the respective catheter priming volume (e.g., a PICC or CVC catheter).
The catheter is first filled with saline or similar material suitable for flushing. The catheter is topped off with a locking solution of citrate and saline (or similar material suitable for flushing). The locking solution will include citrate in high concentration, within the lethal pathogenic concentrations known, as selected by the clinician. For instance, if a higher lethal pathogenic concentration is selected (e.g., 46.7%), the clinician may select a lower overall volume of citrate solution (e.g., 20% of the respective catheter priming volume). Naturally, a further factor in a clinician selection process is the overall priming volume of the respective catheter, so that the clinician can ensure that the overall citrate concentration by volume relative to the priming volume of the catheter is within a lethal pathogenic concentration. Thereby, since citrate is heavier than saline, the citrate will wander through the saline, once locked within the respective catheter, mixing to an average lethal anti-pathogenic concentration relative to the total interluminal catheter space (or volume).
So, in one embodiment, a catheter is first flushed entirely with a saline solution. Then, the catheter is injected (locked) with a citrate solution having a volume equal to 20% - 80% of the total internal volume of a catheter. The citrate solution selected for injection (locking) will ensure that a total concentration of citrate by volume, relative to the total internal volume of the catheter, is within known lethal pathogenic concentrations for citrate (e.g., 30% - 46.7%). The specific gravity of the citrate solution provides that the citrate solution will effectively mix within and lock the entire total internal volume of the catheter.
Accordingly, locking the catheter with citrate solution having a volume equal to 20% - 80% of the total internal volume of a catheter, while also maintaining a concentration of citrate by volume, relative to the total internal volume of the catheter, within known lethal pathogenic concentrations for citrate (e.g., 30%-46.7%), will create
and maintain a lethal anti-pathogenic environment within the entire internal volume of the catheter, and will provide for a dilution of the concentration of citrate by volume, relative to the total internal volume of the catheter, so that any loss into the body, from the catheter, will be minimal and will be at a concentration as not to result in a health hazard.
