Resumen
CALVO, R. et al. Permanent subcutaneous reservoirs: Complications. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2004, vol.11, n.3, pp.150-155. ISSN 1134-8046.
Objectives: To describe complications found in 100 patients to which central implanted systems (Port-a-cath) were placed. Material and methods: Cross-sectional study with data gathered through a systematic randomized sampling of 100 patients, in which age, gender, pathology requiring implanted systems, type of catheter, elected route of access and complications. Results: After performing to all the patients a biological and radiological control, a complication rate of 6% was found (3 mechanical complications, 2 complications associated to poor handling and 1 infectious complication). Conclusions: After these results obtained in our service, we evidenced a low incidence of complications, thus confirming the benefits provided by a permanent access to a central route.
