ABSTRACT
Objective To discuss the application effect of improved intervention of skin care at PICC site for very low birth weight infants.Methods By convenience sampling method,70 cases admitted from July 2015 to June 2016 were selected as the control group,other 70 cases admitted from July 2016 to June 2017 were selected as the experimental group.The control group was applied with conventional nursing,while the experimental group was applied with improved intervention.Skin damage around PICC insertion site was observed and compared between two groups.Results The incidence rate of PICC site with skin injury in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The improved intervention for the very low birth weight infants with PICC can significantly reduce the incidence rate of PICC site with skin injury,and guarantee the safety of infants.
