ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the application of limbs and fingers movement combined with moxibustion in patients with PICC catheterization. Methods A total of 346 PICC catheterized patients treated from August 2014 to July 2017 were randomly divided into control group (173 cases) and observation group (173 cases) according to random number table method. The control group was given local hot-wet compression at 3-4 cm of puncture point after 24 h of catheterization, and the observation group was given preventive moxibustion with the direction of the punctured vein at the same site in the control group, and then was given limbs and fingers movement. The levels of serum monocyte chemoattractant protein- 1 (MCP- 1), tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF- α) and interleukin- 8 (IL- 8), hemorheological parameters [rate of high and low shear whole blood viscosity (RBV), rate of plasma specific viscosity (RPV), hematocrit (HCT)] and the incidence rates of mechanical phlebitis and venous thrombosis were compared between the two groups after intervention. Results The levels of MCP-1, TNF-αand IL-8 were (53.03±7.86), (85.93±10.72), (54.65±9.23) ng/L in the observation group, (60.27± 8.45), (94.74±11.36), (63.08±10.07) ng/L in the control group, and there were significant differences (t=8.252, 7.419, 8.117, all P<0.05). The levels of high shear RBV, low shear RBV, RPV and HCT were (3.94 ± 0.85) mPa · s, (6.55 ± 1.22) mPa · s, (1.70 ± 0.54) mPa · s and (43.71 ± 4.82)％ respectively in the observation group, (4.18±0.74) mPa·s, (6.97±1.25) mPa·s, (1.92±0.59) mPa·s and (45.13±4.65)％in the control group, and there were significant differences (t=2.789-3.618, P<0.05). The incidence rates of venous thrombosis and phlebitis were 1.16％(2/173) and 5.78％(10/173) respectively in the observation group, 5.78％(10/173) and 13.29％(23/173) in the control group, there were significant differences (χ2=4.230, 5.661, P<0.05). Conclusions Limbs and fingers movement combined with moxibustion can effectively improve the blood flow status, and reduce the occurrence of mechanical phlebitis and venous thrombosis in patients with PICC catheterization.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of hydrocolloid dressings on preventing mechanical phlebitis induced by peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC)in cancer patients. Methods 100 cancer patients with PICC were divided into observation group (n= 50)and control group (n= 50). Hydrocolloid dressing was used in observation group and hot-wet compress was used in control group. Incidence of mechanical phlebitis,comfort degree,and im-plementation time between two groups were compared.Results The incidence of mechanical phlebitis in observation group and control group were 4.0% (2/50)and 22.0% (11/50)respectively,grade of mechanical phlebitis in obser-vation group was significantly lower than control group(P<0.05). The rates of skin irritation,activity limitation, and body exposure in observation group were all significantly lower than control group (0 vs 10 . 0% ,2 . 0% vs 14.0% ,0 vs 16.0% ,respectively,all P<0.05),the implementation time of observation group and control group were (2.8±1.1)and (35.2±7.4)minutes respectively,difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion Hydrocolloid dressing can significantly reduce the mechanical phlebitis induced by PICC,enhance pa-tients'comfort degree,and reduce nurses'workload.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of the continuing quality improvement on PICC-related phlebitis in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Methods Eighty breast cancer patients undergoing PICC for chemotherapy in our hospital from September to December 2014 were selected as control group, receiving routine nursing care. Another eighty patients undergoing PICC for chemotherapy from January to March in 2015 were selected as experiment group and the quality control cycle was used, the measures including investigating the present situation aiming to theme, goal setting and analyzing, working out and using countermeasures and effect comfirming. Result After applying continuing quality improvement in the experiment group the incidence rate of phlebitis in the continuing quality improvement group was significantly lower than those before continuing quality improvement and in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The implementation of continuing quality improvement activities can reduce the incidence of pzce-related phlebitis in patients with breast cancer during chemotherapy. It can improve the safety of PICC catheter and therefore, it is worthy of popularization.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the preventive effect of hydrocolloid dressings on mechanical phlebitis in patients with PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter).Method Articles of radomized or semi-radomized controlled clinical trial on hydrocolloid dressings on mechanical phlebitis in patients with PICC were retrieved across the databases of Pubmed, Google Scholar, CNKI and Wanfang and treated with the software of RevMan 5.0.Result Thirteen papers were included for the meta-analysis, which indicated that hydrocolloid dressings reduced the incidence of mechanical phlebitis in patients with PICC.Conclusion Early application of hydrocolloid dressings can effectively prevent mechanical phlebitis in the patients with PICC.
