Abstract:
Objective To compare the effects of mini-midline catheters that were placed in different sites.Methods The inpatients of a tertiary general hospital in Zhejiang Province from October 2023 to January 2024 were selected as the study subjects using a fixed point continuous convenience sampling method.The patients were divided into 2 groups by simple random grouping method.The experimental group had a mini-midline catheter placed in the upper arm,and the control group had a mini-midline catheter placed in the forearm.The incidence of catheter-related complications,the puncture success rate with one-attempt,the total procedure time,the time of the first occurrence of catheter-related complications,the rate of removal due to complications,and the indwelling catheter duration were compared between the 2 groups.Results A total of 121 patients were included,including 64 in the experimental group and 57 in the control group.The incidence rates of catheter-related complications in the experimental group and the control group were 29.69％and 66.67％;the times of the first occurrence of catheter-related complications were 167(122,220)h and 104(73,168)h;the rates of removal due to complications were 17.19％and 42.11％;the indwelling catheter duration was 171(124,258)h and 120(92,187)h;the differences between the 2 groups of these outcomes were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The puncture success rates with one-attempt in the experimental group and the control group were 96.88％and 96.49％;the total procedure times were 352(296,446)s and 370(295,430)s;the differences between the 2 groups of these outcomes were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion Mini-midline catheters inserted in the upper arm can reduce the incidence of catheter complications and the rate of removal due to complications,prolong the time of the first occurrence of catheter-related complications and the indwelling catheter duration.
