Introduction of a modified PICC blind puncture catheterization technique / 肠外与肠内营养

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the application and feasibility of the night-vision puncture technique in performing peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC).Methods:Seventy patients were randomly divided into ultrasound guided puncture group or modified blind puncture group,35 cases in each group.The puncture success rate,the achievement ratio of catheterization,the puncture site,arm circumference,catheterization time and complications were recorded in two groups.Results:Two groups had no significant difference in the puncture success rate,the achievement ratio of catheterization,the puncture site,arm circumference,phlebitis incidence,subcutaneous congestion (bleeding) (P ＞ 0.05).The catheterization time in modified blind puncture group was shorter than the ultrasound guided puncture group (P ＜ 0.001).In modified blind puncture group,a negative correlation (correlation coefficient-0.475,P =0.004)between arm circumference and the puncture success rate was found.Conclusion:The puncture success rate of the modified blind puncture technique in performing peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is high and close to the puncture success rate of the PICC under ultrasound.Additionally,the modified blind puncture technique does not increase the incidence of complications and delay the catheter time.
