title: [Citrate locking solution for central venous catheters].
abstract: Central venous catheters are locked by injecting an anticoagulant into the unused lumens. It is a commonly used practice in intensive care departments. The choice of a citrate-based solution keeps them functional even in the case of prolonged nonuse.
