Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Thrombotic complications, defined as occlusion of the catheter, which requires VAP removal.
Secondary outcome
Time between last VAP flushing and complication.
Background summary
In this trial we will retrospectively assess if there is a difference in thrombotic complications regarding frequency of flushing the VAP (every 6 weeks versus never) when not in use, in children with cancer.
Study objective
It is safe, in terms of rate of thrombotic complications, to refrain from prophylactically flushing the Venous Access Port (VAP) in children with cancer (compared to flushing it every six weeks) when not in use.
Study design
n/a
Intervention
When VAP is not in use; flushing it every 6 weeks vs flushing it never.
