ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the cause of 1 PICC catheter rupture, and discuss the nursing interventions.Methods:Comprehensive analysis was carried out on the review of the use and maintenance of PICC catheter, patient's life style and catheter quality test.Results:The main reasons of PICC catheter rupture were the pinch-off syndrome and catheter plug caused by gaming disorders and non-canonical maintenance of PICC outhospital.Conclusions:With the growing of video game players, gaming disorder may be one acquired factor of PICC catheter rupture. To reduce the occurrence of PICC catheter rupture, prompt identification of and timely intervention to gaming disorder and intensified outhospital care are paramount. The predictive diagnostic tests of catheter ectopia based on clinical syndromes, physical signs and catheter state, are helpful for the early recognition and treatment of PICC catheter rupture, followed by the risk reduction of pulmonary embolism.
