Central venous catheters (CVCs) are now widely used in critical care for critical care, fluid resuscitation, drug infusion, parenteral nutrition, hemodynamic monitoring, chemotherapy, and continuous blood purification treatment. Although the application of CVCs can facilitate clinical medical care work, the proportion of patients with various catheter complications will exceed 15%, and the incidence of catheter blockage is about 25%. At present, adequate flushing and effective sealing are considered to be important means to reduce and prevent catheter blockage. This article reviews the prevention of central venous catheter occlusion with different sealing fluids, in order to provide reference for clinical nurses to prevent central venous catheter occlusion.

The C-index of nomogram prediction model was 0.768. Result of nomogram prediction model showed that the incidence of tumor polyps was 0, 6% and 10% in patients with multiple and pedicled gallbladder polyps with diameter of 10, 11, 12 mm and with CEA ≤5.0 mg/L and CA19-9 ≤39.0 U/mL, the incidence of tumor polyps was 43%, 53% and 70% in patients with single and broad base gallbladder polyps with diameter of 10, 11, 12 mm. The calibration curve showed that the probability of the nomogram prediction model predicting neoplastic polyps was nearly consistent with the actual probability. Conclusions:CEA>5.0 mg/L, CA19-9>39.0 U/mL, single polyp in preoperative ultrasonography examination, polyp diameter of 11 mm in preoperative ultrasonography examination, polyps of broad base in preoperative ultrasonography examination are independent risk factors for the incidence of neoplastic polyps in patients who had gallbladder polyp diameter of 10 to 12 mm without cholecystolithiasis. Cholecystectomy should be performed in time for patients with single and broad based gallbladder polyps with diameter of 10, 11, 12 mm.
