Abstract:
Objective To investigate the impact of temperature intervention on pain and catheterization outcomes in premature infants undergoing peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC)placement.Methods A total of 70 premature infants who underwent PICC placement and met the inclusion criteria were selected from the Neonatology Department of a tertiary children's hospital in Kunming,Yunnan,from January 2023 to December 2023.They were randomly divided into a control group(n=35)and an observation group(n=35)using a random number table.The control group underwent the standard PICC placement procedure;the observation group underwent temperature intervention measures based on the control group,which included using iodine tincture warmed to 37℃for disinfection,applying warm compresses to the catheterization site with heated hands of the operator,and using saline warmed to 37℃during catheter insertion and skin cleansing.Pain scores measured by the Premature Infant Pain Profile(PIPP),blood oxygen saturation,heart rate,success rates of single puncture and single catheter insertion,incidence of complications,and occurrence of hypothermia post-catheterization were compared between the two groups.Results The PIPP during disinfection,puncture,catheter insertion,and cleansing were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group(P<0.05);the average blood oxygen saturation in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,with a lower difference compared to the control group(P<0.05);the difference and average heart rate during catheterization in the observation group were both lower than those in the control group(P<0.05);the success rates of single puncture and single catheter insertion,as well as the incidence of hypothermia post-catheterization in the observation group,were both lower than those in the control group(P<0.05),while the comparison of complication rates between the two groups showed no statistically significant difference(P>0.05).Conclusion Implementing temperature intervention during PICC placement in premature infants can effectively reduce pain,maintain stable vital signs,improve the success rates of single puncture and catheter insertion,and effectively prevent the incidence of hypothermia.
