Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of wash pipe frequency on complications of double-lumen power peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) connected to infusion pump during continuous chemotherapy. Methods A total of 160 patients with malignant lymphoma whose PICC connected to infusion pump were divided into 4 groups by random digits table method with 40 cases each: flushing and sealing the tube once every 4 hours(group A), every 8 hours(group B), every 12 hours(group C) and every 24 hours (group D). The incidence of blocking pipe and phlebitis were observed. Results The incidence of blocking pipe were 0,2.5%(1/40) , 27.5%(11/40), 42.5%(17/40) in group A, B, C, D, the differences among them were significant, χ2= 30.870, P<0.01. There was no significant difference in the incidence of phlebitis among 4 groups, P>0.05. Conclusions Flushing and sealing the tube of PICC connected to infusion pump once every 8 hours during continuous chemotherapy seems to be appropriate and worthy of being applied clinically due to its low blocking pipe incidence, and low incidence of phlebitis.
