[PAGID] Ethanol lock for CVL

[Christine Seroogy]

Dear Colleagues,

I am caring for a 6y/o CGD patient with aspergillus pna/meningitis and am
seeking input on preserving his central venous line.

He has not had a line infection.  We are considering ethanol lock for line
care.  Our institution has used this approach on several patients and there
are several ongoing clinical trials.

I am wondering if any of you have experience using this approach and if
there have been any problems?

Thank you,

Chris
