Abstract:
Objective To investigated the clinical application effects of autonomous copper wire-ECG positioning technology on PICC in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI).Methods The study investigated 54 VLBWI who needed PICC and were hospitalized in the neonatal medical center of Huai′an maternity and child health care hospital in 2015. The participants were divided into the intervention group ( n=27) and the control group ( n=27) using random number table. The intervention group used the autonomous copper wire -ECG positioning technology by observing the changes of typical P-wave while the control group used the conventional locating method. PICC indwelling time, location accuracy, and the incidence of related complications were compared between the two groups according to the gold standard of postoperative chest X-ray. Results The location accuracy for the intervention group was significantly higher than the accuracy for the control group (92.6% vs 66. 7%;χ2=5.594, P<0.05). However, PICC indwelling time for the intervention group had little difference compared to the control group [(20.85±12.5) d vs (22.33±10.0) d; t=0.481,P>0.05] . The incidence of complications also had limited difference between the two groups since there were 4 cases of related complications for the intervention group and 6 cases for the control group (χ2=0.123,P>0.05) . Conclusions The autonomous copper wire-ECG positioning technology should be further developed and applied to the population of VLBWI because of its high accuracy and operability.
