Brief Summary
This study an open label prospective observational cohort study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sodium citrate 4% locking solution in preventing central line associated blood stream infection in children requiring long term central venous catheters for home parenteral nutrition. Sodium citrate 4% is FDA-approved for dialysis catheters, but has not been formally evaluated for use in tunneled catheters for parenteral nutrition. The rate of central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) and other potential adverse events will be monitored for 12 months, with the option to remain in the study for a longer period of time.

Study Arms (1)
Sodium citrate 4%
EXPERIMENTALAll enrolled participants will received the daily sodium citrate 4% locking solution for CLABSI prophylaxis intervention and be observed prospectively for adverse events
Interventions
3 ml of sodium citrate 4% locking solution instilled into the central catheter daily during the period that parenteral nutrition is not infusing, and will be withdrawn and disposed of prior to resuming infusion of parenteral nutrition
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Pediatric patients (\<18 years) and adult patients (up to 21 years still in our clinic)
- requiring long-term (\>3 months) home parenteral nutrition due to intestinal failure/short bowel syndrome
- has had at least one central line-associated blood stream infection
You may not qualify if:
- known cardiac arrhythmias
- hypersensitivity to citrate
- pregnancy
- receiving continuous parenteral nutrition (infusing over 24 hours)
