ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the infection of central venous catheterization in tumor patients with chemotherapy and analyze its risk factors and the role of nursing intervention. METHODS The prospective overall monitoring method was used,including catheterization,maintenance,observation and monitoring. RESULTS Of 446 cases with chemotherapy,the infection rate was 2.24% (10 cases). The infection mainly correlated with age,catheterization time,chemotherapy duration,venous nutrition,complication and hormone. CONCLUSIONS The infection of central venous catheterization is inevitable due to multiple risk factors. The measures to prevent and reduce hospital infection are holding the key steps of central venous catheterization,executing the management system of sterilization,keeping tract smooth,cutting down time of central venous catheterization and strengthening nursing education about central venous catheterization.
