Abstract:
Objective To explore influencing factors of peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC)infection among premature infants and low birth weight infants,and to implement nursing intervention and reduce infection.Methods 128 subjects that underwent the PICC phlebitis,positive blood culture and positive catheter culture in our department were retrospectively reviewed.Results 12 cases had phlebitis:5 cases of the great saphenous vein,2 cases of the cephalic vein,4 cases of the median cubital vein and 1 case of the basilic vein,the difference was significant(x2 =11.351,P ＜ 0.01).1 case had 1-7 d catheter retention,of which neither positive blood culture nor positive catheter culture was observed.10 cases had 8-21 d catheter retention,and positive rate of blood culture and catheter culture was 17.14％,11.32％,respectively.1 case had 22-47 d catheter retention,and positive rate of blood culture and catheter culture was 20.75％,17.14％,respectively.Conclusions Phlebitis can be effectively prevented and decreased by establishing PICC group,producing standard operating card,improving puncture skills,selecting appropriate retention site and strengthening maintenance measures.
