RESUMO
Objective To compare the effects of peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC)and venous port access (VPA)on the complication incidence of breast cancer.Methods A total of 191 breast cancer patients with VPA and 218 ones with PICC for chemotherapy from January 2012 to January 2014 were involved.The two groups were compared in respect of incidence of complications during intubation.Result The complication incidence in the VPA group was lower than the PICC group(P<0.05). Conclusion VPA is an ideal pathway for intravenous infusion in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the nutritional risks in hospitalized patients with liver diseases and work out nursing countermeasures.Methods Forty patients with liver cirrhosis, 40 patients with primary liver cancer and another 40 revisiting after liver transplantation involved in the investigation with a self-designed general information questionnaire and the nutritional risk screening 2002. The three groups were compared in terms of nutritional risks.Results Among the total 120 patients,38.3%(46/120)of them took the nutritional risk and even 12.5%(15/120)had the risk of undernourishment.The risk in the patients with liver cirrhosis was higher than that in the other two groups(χ2=9.899 and 11.4299 and P=0.002 and 0.001,respectively).Conclusions The nursing staffs should pay attention to the nutritional status of patients with liver diseases, especially the patients with liver cirrhosis.It is necessary to take effective measures in order to improve the nutritional status of the patients to reduce the nutritional risks.
