Feasibility study on the effect and complications of intravenous therapy nursing intervention on patients with PICC catheterization

The peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) has been widely used in clinical practice, but there are also high risks in the use process. With the development of intravenous therapy technology, it is possible to reduce PICC related adverse events. This study aims to explore the effect of specialized nursing intervention of intravenous therapy in patients with PICC and the feasibility of preventing/reducing complications. Subjects 23 to 75 years treated with PICC catheterization concluded. A total of 96 subjects were assigned to a control group (n = 48), which performed routine care, a study group (n = 48), which received 2-week intravenous therapy specialist nursing therapy based on routine care. After 2 weeks for PICC nursing therapy, Chi square test analyses showed significant differences between routine care (75.00%) and intravenous therapy specialist nursing therapy (93.75%) in treatment compliance rate, as well as the scores of Cancer Patients PICC Sell management and the core scale of quality of life of cancer patients. Significantly lower incidence of complications for study group (8.33%) versus control group (27.08%). Intravenous therapy specialist nursing intervention has a significant effect on patients with PICC catheterization, which can improve patients' treatment compliance, improve their quality of life, and effectively reduce the occurrence of related complications.
