seeded or seated? - EveningMT

"Given that she has completed her chemotherapy and she is unlikely to require a MediPort again, it can certainly be removed if it has been (seated or seeded) and is a site of her continued infection." Thanks.

I would say seeded...sm - mb

Since dictator is saying it is a site of her infection it is probably seeded with the bacteria.

seated - ems

The bottom port requires a hole in the table upon which the microscope is seated in order to accommodate the camera.

Used in sentence!

seeded ; based on information found - see message

I would put seeded. But if you decide to flag it, please let us know what QA or the dictator confirm it to be.

I found several articles referencing this as a source of infection.

One

A number of totallyimplanted venous access devices that contain their own portsattached to a centrally placed catheter have been developed.These include the Mediport, Infuse-a-Port^®, and Port-a-Cath^®.These devices are associated with a number of early and latecomplications. Of these, thrombosis occurs in 12%–74%of CVCs in cancer patients and is the subject of this review.

The odds ratio forinfection related to thrombosis was 4.1 and prophylactic heparin/vancomycin/ciprofloxacinor heparin/vancomycin flushes resulted in a threefold lowerincidence of blood infection compared with heparin alone.This is not a surprising finding, since almost all cannulatedblood vessels contain a fibrin sheath that is seeded with adherentcocci.

Two

Infection is probably the most common complication of CVAD use in the outpatient setting. Catheter-related infections can occur at any time the device is in place. Pathogenic organisms can enter and infect intravascular devices by contamination of the infusate, contamination at junctions in IV tubing, contamination at the insertion site, and systemic seeding from a distant source.

Thank you. I will check on the report in a few days to see if the dictator changed it. I used "seeded." Thanks, everyone, for your help.

I think seeded is right - nm

dictator changed it. Only a handful actually read their reports before signing, and a lot are electronically signed without even looking for them. I do believe you were correct with using seeded in this instance.

It is seeded in this case--seeded with infection. - NM

It's definitely "seeded" - - Quite Certain

Yes, it's most certainly "seeded." Infective organisms are said to "seed" a site. Organisms plop down out of the blood like seeds tossed into a garden.

Doing a hernia repair... These are the sentences: "When placing a finger inside the abdominal cavity, one could still feel seating of the peritoneum which had been present previously." "It was elected, given the fact that the patient still had disease, not to place an inside or outside mesh at the current time as, if this became seeded with carcinoma, it would just be a different source of disease for her." Thanks much! :-) ...
