RESUMO
Objective:To study the safety of different peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) dressing replacement frequencies in preterm infants.Method:From June 2017 to February 2020, preterm infants were enrolled in this prospective randomized controlled study. Preterm infants with PICC were randomly assigned into 7 d, 11 d and 14 d dressing replacement groups using online randomization software. Polyurethane transparent dressing and the same dressing replacement method were used in all three groups. The incidences of catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) and positive skin bacterial culture at dressing site were compared among the three groups.Result:A total of 296 cases were enrolled, including 96 cases in the 7 d group, 108 cases in the 11 d group and 92 cases in the 14 d group. The incidences of CRBSI in three groups were 2.5/1 000 catheter day in 7 d group, 1.1/1 000 catheter day in 11 d group and 0.8/1 000 catheter day in 14 d group. The incidences of catheter pathogen colonization were 1.0% in 7 d group, 0.9% in 11 d group and 0% in 14 d group. The positive rates of skin bacterial culture at dressing site were 1.0% in 7 d group, 2.8% in 11d group and 2.2% in 14 d group. The incidences of PICC exit site infection in three groups were 1.0% in 7 d group, 0.9% in 11d group and 1.1% in 14 d group and no significant differences existed among the groups ( P>0.05). Gram-positive cocci were the main bacteria [91.7% (11/12)] of CRBSI and skin bacterial culture at dressing site and gram negative bacilli accounted for 8.3% (1/12). No fungal infection were found. Conclusion:It is safe to replace the PICC dressing in premature infants as needed within 14 days if the dressing is intact without curling, bleeding and exudation.
RESUMO
Objective To evaluate the effects on catheter related blood stream infection by different dressing frequency of peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC)with neonates. Methods A systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from databases, Data were searched about the transparent dressing replacement frequency for neonatal PICC catheterization. The meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.2 software. Results Nine RCTs were included in a total of 1 730 patients. Meta analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the incidence of PICC puncture dressing, catheter-related infections (including puncture port infection, catheter-related blood flow infection, catheter bacterial colonization) at every 3, 5, and 7 days (P> 0.05). Conclusion the dressing of PICC catheter are replaced will not increase the incidence of catheter-related infections within 7 days, throughout the more appropriate frequency of dressing replacement is once every 7 days.
RESUMO
The authors analyze the theory of four-season health-preserving in Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor 《黄帝内经》).Combined with the unique natural climatic condition and the physical characteristics of population in the Lingnan area (the area south of the Five Ridges),the health-preserving concepts of local people and local famous Chinese medical physicians are explained from four seasons of spring,summer,autumn and winter.The four-season health-preserving concept in Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor has important guiding significance on the health care of people in Lingnan area.
