Figure 1 Summary of frequency of catheter-related bacteremia with antimicrobial locks versus heparin locks in published randomized clinical trials. Five trials used an antibiotic lock, 1 used taurolidine, and 1 used 30% citrate. In each study, the catheter-related bacteremia frequency was 50% to 100% lower in the group with antimicrobial lock, as compared with the heparin controls.
