ObjectiveTo evaluate tip location of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) by using the carina as evaluation mark, so as to provide clinical references for blinding manipulation of PICC. MethodsA retrospective analysis about the effects of tip location of PICC by using the carina as evaluation mark on inpatients with malignant tumour was conducted in tumour centre of the West China Hospital from March 2013 to April 2014. Chest X radiography was applied to evaluate the tip location of PICC. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software (version 19.0) and the outcomes were presented by frequency and percentage. ResultsA total of 612 cases of blinding manipulation of PICC were evaluated, of which, 502 (82%) were located in the central venous and 110 (18%) were located in the noncentral venous. The numbers of those with the catheter tips located in the non-central venous were 38 in the right atrium, 33 in the internal jugular vein, 24 in the innominate vein, 8 in the axillary vein, and 7 in the subclavian vein, respectively. ConclusionThe effects of blinding manipulation of peripherally-inserted central catheter by using the carina as evaluation mark are relatively good. But it still needs to be improved.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical effects of continuous quality improvement (CQI) in the care of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 40 patients who received PICC treatment in our hospital between January and December 2011, and then we found out the main problems of PICC catheter care, analyzed the related factors for complications of PICC, and formulated corresponding nursing countermeasures. PICC receivers between January and December 2012 were regarded as controls. Then, we compared the complication incidence and satisfaction of patients between the two groups before and after the implementation of CQI. ResultsAfter the implementation of CQI, complication incidence was significantly lower (P<0.05). The satisfaction degree of patients toward caring rose to 87.8%, which was statistically significant (P<0.05). ConclusionThe implementation of CQI is beneficial to reduce complications of PICC treatment, and patients'satisfaction rate is also significantly increased.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo study the therapeutic effects of indwelling catheters in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). MethodsThe clinical data of 113 patients with severe acute pancreatitis admitted to our hospital from Aug. 2002 to May 2004 were collected. The patients were divided into the indwelling catheter group (45 cases) and the control group (68 cases).The APACHEⅡscores and therapeutic results were compared. The drainage and intraabdominal pressure (IPA) were monitored. Results The APACHEⅡscores on day 2 and day 5 after therapy in indwelling catheter group were significantly decreased compared with the control group(P=0.000).The average hospital stay and cyst morbidity of the indwelling catheter group were significantly decreased compared with those of the control group(P=0.000). The mortality rate was lower in the indwelling catheter group, but there was no statistical difference between these two groups(Pgt;0.05). The IAP was positively correlative with the drainage volume, hospital day and APACHEⅡscores(r=0.552, r=0.748, r=0.923,P=0.000). ConclusionThe indwelling catheter is an important treatment in patients with SAP.
ObjectiveTo explore the trend and hotspots of research in the field of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC), so as to provide a reference for clinical nursing and nursing research in the field of vascular access in China.MethodsAll PICC-related articles from 1806 to November 22nd, 2018 were searched in the Foreign Medical Retrieval System. The publication amount, year of publication, language, country, journals and impact factor, high-yield authors and high-frequent medical subject headings (MeSH) of the PICC-related articles were analyzed by using frequency, cumulative frequency, and constituent ratio.ResultsA total of 1 550 articles were included. They were published in 586 journals, of which 393 were included in Science Citation Index. English was the dominant publication language, and the top high-yield country was the United States. The top 16 high-yield authors published 199 articles, the top 3 of whom all had published co-operative papers, ranging from 1 article to 19 articles. The top 3 high-frequent MeSHs were “Catheters, Indwelling” “Catheterization, Central Venous” “Central Venous Catheter”.ConclusionsPICC has become a hotspot in clinical research, and the publication amount of relative literature has increased rapidly since 2000. Chinese scholars should improve their English and carry out multi-center cooperative research to improve the quality of PICC-related literature.
