Intravenous port-a-cath in clinical practice
Intravenózní implantabilní portkatétry v klinické praxi
Intravenózní implantabilní portkatétry jsou stále více využívány u nemocných, kteří jsou léčeni chemoterapií, u nichž je indikována domácí parenterální výživa a u těch, kteří opakovaně potřebují urgentní aplikaci léku pro závažný stav. Vzhledem k tomu, že v České republice lze očekávat významný nárůst nemocných, kterým bude intravenózní porkatétr implantován, je žádoucí, aby nejen s indikacemi, ale především s pravidly při aplikaci do systému a s jeho správným ošetřováním byl seznámen každý praktický lékař i zdravotní sestra.
Klíčová slova:
intravenózní portkatétr, chemoterapie, urgentní stav, praktický lékař.

Overview
Intravenous port-a-caths are being used more and more frequently in patients treated with chemotherapy, who are indicated for home parenteral nutrition, and in patients requiring repeated urgent intravenous drug application. A significant increase in the number of patients requiring implantation of an intravenous porta-cath is to be expected in the Czech Republic in the near future. Therefore all general practitioners and nurses should be made familiar with intravenous drug applications via port-a-caths as well as with the appropriate care required.
Key words:
intravenous port-a-cath, chemotherapy, emergency situation, general practitioner.
