Abstract: Objective To observe the value of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) in tumour chemotherapy. Methods A total of 141 patients were randomly divided into three groups, 56 patients received chemotherapy by PICC, 49 patients were treated by intravenous detaining needle, and 36 patients were treated by peripherally scalp needle. The complications including drugs effusion, phlebitis, and degree of comfort and self-care ability of patients were observed and compared. Results The ratio of complications and self-care deficiency in PICC group were much lower than those in the intravenous detaining needle and peripherally scalp needle group (P<0.01), the degree of comfort, however, was much higher than that in the intravenous detaining needle and peripherally scalp needle group (P<0.01). On the other hand, there was no statistical difference in the ratio of local infection of the three venous punctures(P>0.05). Conclusions It is very convenient and safe to use PICC which is a good intravenous method and is worth of spreading in practice.
