ObjectiveTo study the effect of three-level monitoring mode in reducing complications of pediatric PICC catheter tube and improving the quality of care for children. Methods64 cases of children with PICC catheter in our hospital from September 2009 to August 2011 receiving three-level monitoring modes were set as the experimental group.67 patients with conventional care from September 2007 to August 2009 were set as the control group.The incidence of catheter complications in children,success rate of catheter puncture and tube indwelling time for the two groups were observed. Results The complications occurred in 9 cases,accounting for 14.06％ in the experimental group.The complications occurred in 25 cases in the control group,accounting for 37.31％.The puncture success rate was 89.06％ in the experimental group,and the control group was 79.10％.The average time of tube indwelling in the experimental group was higher than the control group.The difference was significant. ConclusionsThe effect of three-level monitoring modes to reduce pediatric PICC catheter complications and improve quality of care in children with catheter is significant,it can increase the success rate of puncture and prolong tube in-dwelling time.
