Practice and Experience of Clinical Pharmacists Participating in One Case of Cancer Patients with Infection Induced by Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter Complicated with Deep Venous Thrombosis / 中国药师

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the methods for drug therapy regimen formulation and pharmaceutical service of clinical pharma-cists for the infection induced by peripherally inserted central catheter ( PICC) complicated with deep venous thrombosis in cancer pa-tients. Methods:Referring to the related guide, clinical pharmacists put forward concrete opinions on how to choose anti-infective drugs and anti-thrombotic drugs for a cancer patient with PICC infection complicated with deep venous thrombosis. Clinical pharmacists sug-gested that vancomycin be used for the infection and low molecular weight heparin sodium for prophylactic anticoagulation. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical care for blood clotting function should be strengthened. Results:The proposals of clinical pharmacist were partly adopt-ed by clinicians. After the therapy, the temperature of the patient returned to normal, and the deep venous thrombosis was well con-trolled. The patient was out of hospital smoothly. Conclusion:Through the participation in clinical practice, clinical pharmacists can assist physicians in optimizing treatment plan and summarize the pharmaceutical care mode for the PICC infection and deep venous thrombosis in cancer patients, which can provide instructions for pharmaceutical care in the future.
