ABSTRACT
Objective:To design an internal jugular vein catheter protective bag and it can be applied to fix internal jugular vein catheter for patients receiving hemodialysis.Methods: To use retrospective analysis to research the different method of fixed dialysis catheter for 40 patients cured by internal jugular vein catheterization. 40 patients were randomly divided into observation group (20 patients) and control group (20 patients) depended on different fixed catheter method. To use the internal jugular vein catheter protective bag to fix dialysis catheter on the observation group; and to use conventional gauze and 3 M transparent sticking to fix dialysis catheter on control group. And then to observe the level of fixed internal jugular vein catheter, detached catheter rate and infection rate.Results: The fixed level of internal jugular vein catheter fixed of observation group was higher than control group and the difference was statistical significantly (x2=26.334,P<0.05); both of the detached catheter rate and infection rate of observation group were lower than control group and the difference also was statistical significant (x2=5.796,x2=28.540;P<0.05).Conclusion: Internal jugular vein catheter protective bag can prevent inner sticking detachment, catheter slippage and infection, therefore, it can satisfy clinical application and have got patent license for utility model. This patent is worthy to popularize and apply.
ABSTRACT
Most cases of superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome are secondary to malignant disease and subacute in their presentation. However, the exponential increase in use of indwelling central venous catheters and cardiac pacemakers over the last two decades has resulted in more patients with SVC syndrome. Internal jugular vein cannulation has become the preferred approach for temporary hemodialysis catheter placement following the reports of an increased incidence of subclavian vein stenosis due to subclavian vein catheterization. We describe a patient who developed SVC syndrome after internal jugular vein catheterization. The patient had been swollen the left arm intermittently due to left central vein stenosis for 1 year and experienced balloon angioplasty and stent insertion for three times. We diagnosed the SVC syndrome through the both subclavian venography, which revealed complete obstruction of the left brachiocephalic vein with extensive collateral circulation and mild stenosis of the distal right internal jugular vein. Resolution of the clinical SVC sydrome occurred after catheter removal.
