Efficacy of heparin–vancomycin–amikacin combination lock in preventing catheter-related infections in haemodialysis patients: a double-blind randomized clinical trial
The heparin-vancomycin-amikacin combination lock solution was more effective in preventing CRIs than heparin alone in haemodialysis patients. Further studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up are needed to confirm its long-term benefits and assess potential risks, including antibiotic resistance.
