Abstract:
Objecfive To compare the clinical effectiveness of three different fixation methods for peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC).Methods Totally 120 patients requiting PICCs were randomized into suture securement group(group A),tape securement group(group B),and sutureless adhesive-hacked device (StatIock)securement group(group C),with 40 patients in each group.Patients were followed up throughout their entire catheter course,and the securement effectiveness,catheter-related complications,risk of skin injury,and patients'satisfaction were observed.Results The rate of catheter migration without function loss in group B (57.5%)was significantly higherthan in group A(12.5%,P=0.000)and in group C(7.5%,P=0.000).Catheter dislodgment rate in group B(15.0%)was also significantly higher than group A(0,P=0.034)and group C(0,JP=0.034).Phlebitis documented during their catheter course in group B(25.0%)were more than in group A(7.5%,P=0.034)and in group C(5.0%,P=0.012).In addition,the rate of cellulitis in group A was significantly higher than group C(20.0%vs.2.5%,P=0.034).The rate of skin injury in group A 0.005).Nearly half of patients in group A (52.5%)complained irritation and/or pain at the sucure site,which was significantly higher than in other two groups ( both P = 0.000 ).The patients' satisfaction rate was significantly lower in group A (12.0% ) than in the other two groups ( both P = 0.000), documented highest in group C (90.0%) (group C vs.group B, P = 0.004).Conclusions The availability of sutureless adhesive-backed de vice StatLock provides an alternative for securement of PICCs.It performs as well as suture securement in catheterfixing.Meanwhile, it can prevent catheter-related complications such as migration and dislodgment Furthermore, it avoids skin injuries during catheter fixation or securement.
