ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the application of Vein Infrared Imaging instrument in the treatment of medical patients with difficulty of vein-detaining needle. Methods A total of 116 cases of patients with difficulty of vein-detaining needle were admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital International Medical Service Department from June 2015 to May 2016. These participants were divided into vein imaging and conventional puncture group by the punctures method, 58 cases in each group. Vein imaging group applied vein imaging device in the whole process of venous indwelling needle, including vascular assessment before operation, real-time imaging and confirmation, the control group used conventional technology in peripheral venous catheter. The success rate of vein-detaining needle, operation time, puncture tube material cost, the incidence rate of venous indwelling needle complications were compared between two groups of patients. Results One-time success rate of vein imaging group reached 72.4% (42/58), puncture success rate reached 93.1% (54/58), higher than in conventional puncture group, which was 48.3% (28/58), 67.2% (39/58),the difference between the two groups had statistical significance(χ2=7.061, 10.629,P<0.05). Conventional puncture group 's operation time was (8.4±4.2) min,and puncture tube material cost was(123.37±62.20)yuan;vein imaging group respectively were (3.5±1.2) min, (67.50±24.82) yuan, the difference between the two groups had statistical significance (t=5.410, 4.057, P<0.05). Conventional puncture group's rate of complications was 41.4%(24/58), and vein imaging group was 17.2%(10/58), the difference between the two groups had statistical significance (χ2=8.155,P=0.004). Conclusions Application of vein infrared imaging instrument is a practical, safe and rapid method of vein-detaining needle, which can improve the work efficiency of nurses, and have more advantages in the treatment of patients with difficulty of vein-detaining needle.
