Abstract: Objective To observe the effects of application of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) and subclavian vein puncture (SVP) in heart failure patients. Methods 64 inpatients with heart failure from cardiology department of our hospital were selected, with 30 patients in the PICC group and 34 patients in the SVP group. The operating time of catheterization, achievement rate of initial catheterization, indwelling time and complications were observed in the two groups, respectively. Results The operating time of catheterization (16.3±3.4min) in the PICC group was shorter than that in the SVP group. The indwelling time (34.7±5.3d) was markedly longer in the PICC group than that in the SVP group. The differences were significant statistically (P<0.05). The number of phlebitis and occlusion of catheter in the PICC group were more than those in the SVP group (P<0.05). Conclusions The suitable method for venous puncture and catheterization should be selected according to the features of PICC and SVP as well as the actual situations of patients in clinical application.
