Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the curative effect of Ruyi Jinhuang San mixed tea on phlebitis after PICC catheterization in elderly patients. Methods 42 elderly patients with phlebitis caused by infusing chemotherapeutic agents for a long-term via PICC tube were randomly divided into two groups, i.e. the control group and the treated group, with each group having 21 cases, respectively. The control group accepted extra- short-wave and local nursing, whereas the treated group was given Ruyi Jinhuang San mixed warm tea. The comparison of rehabilitation of phlebitis between the two groups was conducted. Results The cure rate of phlebitis in the treated group(85.71% ) was significantly higher than that in the control group(28.57% ) ,P < 0.01. Conclusions Ruyi Jinhuang San mixed tea shows a better effect on phlebitis after PICC catheterization in elderly patients.
