N2 - OBJECTIVE: To prevent catheter occlusion, intermittently used central venous catheters are frequently sealed with vitamin C solution or heparin solution between use. The present study was designed to test the effectiveness of this approach and to compare the efficiency of sealing solutions. DESIGN AND SETTING: Prospective randomized study performed on a 9-bed medical ICU and on medical wards of an academic tertiary care center. PARTICIPANTS. Ninety-nine central venous line placements were prospectively included in the study and randomized into three treatment groups: sodium chloride 0.9%, vitamin C (200 mg/ml) and heparin (5000 IU/ml) sealing solutions. INTERVENTIONS AND MEASUREMENTS: Catheters were filled with the respective sealing solution and patency was tested once every 2 days using a standardized routine. Catheter patency was compared among the three groups using Kaplan-Meier statistics and log-rank testing. RESULTS: There was a significant difference in catheter patency between the three groups (p
