Dear Editor
A catheter port is an implant that allows to frequenting and long-term access to the central vein. Using of central venous implant ports is increasingly day to day, because using of peripheral venous for frequent injections and continuous intravenous infusions is difficult.
In comparison of different catheters with each other, the port catheter has more advantages than the central venous catheter, such as decreasing the possibility of contamination with external pathogens. Central venous catheter, related to infections is a common cause of nosocomial infections acquired in children with cancer. Complications of port placement can doubt on parents and even health care personnel on its usefulness in children with cancer (1) .Because no studies have been done to assess complications of port catheter in the north of the country from 2007 so, the aim of this study was detection complication of port catheter in children with cancer and Satisfaction rate of parents was Satisfaction rate designed (2). |
