Study Summary

This study is being implemented to identify the role of prophylactic use of ethanol lock in adult patients on home parenteral nutrition (HPN). Central catheter related blood stream infection is a major complication in patients on HPN. The investigators hypothesize that the prophylactic use of ELT will decrease the number of catheter related blood stream infections compared to the control group. The investigators further hypothesize that with the introduction of prophylactic ELT, the number of infections will decrease.

Primary Outcome

The most common complication in parenteral nutrition is catheter-related blood stream infection (CRBSI), which can lean to increased morbidity, mortality, and prolonged hospitalizations. CRBSI was defined as bacteremia or fungemia in a patient who had an intravascular device and \>1 positive blood culture result obtained from the peripheral vein, clinical manifestations of infection (e.g., fever, chills, and/or hypotension), and no apparent source for blood stream infection other than the centra
