Prospective study on the incidence of PICC complications and its influencing factors in cancer patients during chemotherapy in Xinjiang / 现代临床护理

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the incidence and risk factors of common complications in PICC patients during chemotherapy in Xinjiang.Methods A prospective study was conducted.The patients with PICC were treated with PICC from April 2016 to April 2017 were followed up for 10 months. The incidence of PICC complication and the influencing factors were observed dynamically during chemotherapy.Results The incidence of PICC complication was 13.6%(42/208)during chemotherapy in Xinjiang patients.The incidence of PICC was higher in the third chemotherapy cycle and the incidences of the first and sixth chemotherapy cycles were lower. Age, valve type, number of punctures, maintenance time>7d, and living conditions were the influencing factors of PICC complications(P＜0.05). Conclusions The incidence of common complications of PICC in cancer patients during chemotherapy is high in Xinjiang region.The risk factors of complications include age＜18 years,number of open-end PICCs,increased number of punctures, maintenance time>7d and living conditions for rural areas. Clinical nurses should give personalized health guidance on the causes of complications in different patients to reduce the occurrence of complications of PICC,and improve the quality of PICC use.
