ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy and nursing strategy of Comfeel transparent paste in treating peripheral inserted central catheter (PICC)-associated allergic dermatitis. MethodsSixty patients with PICC puncture-associated local allergic dermatitis treated between June 2011 and March 2013 were randomly divided into experimental group and control group with 30 patients in each group. The experimental group was treated with dexamethasone sodium phosphate and Comfeel transparent paste, while the control group was treated with dexamethasone sodium phosphate and 3M transparent dressing. The curative effect was compared between the two methods. ResultsTwelve patients were cured with a curing rate of 40.0% in the control group and 22 patients were cured, and the curing rate was 73.3% in the experimental group. The difference between them was significant (P<0.05). ConclusionTreatment with dexamethasone sodium phosphate and Comfeel transparent paste for PICC-associated allergic dermatitis is quite effective, and the patients felt comfortable with low pains. In addition, it reduces the extubation rate of PICC and improves the care quality.
ObjectiveTo investigate the knowledge and need of caregivers who perform self-nursing for children with peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC), in order to provide evidence for health education for children in-patients and children discharged from hospital with central venous catheter. MethodsSelf-designed questionnaire was used to investigate 364 caregivers who performed nursing for 162 PICC pediatric in-patients bwtween December 2013 and July 2015. The investigation was carried out on the general information, nursing knowledge, and the acquisition approach of caregivers' existing nursing knowledge. ResultsThe majority of indwelling PICC pediatric caregivers were elderly people, and the common care model was alternate caring carried out by core family members. The children were cared by the elderly in 59 families (36.42%). Twenty-one families had the parents of the children as the major caregivers (12.96%), and alternate caring by parents and the elderly happened in 82 families (50.62%). The total score of the investigation was ranged from 5 to 29 with an average of 11.37±5.68. Nineteen children were discharged with catheter, whose caregivers got a score from 6 to 11, averaging 8.41±4.33. ConclusionThe ratio of self-nursing knowledge in caregivers for pediatric PICC patients is generally low, especially in those caregivers for patients discharged with central venous catheter. Nursing administrators should pay attention to training of the nurses, trying to improve the knowledge of nurses on PICC health education. Different forms of health education should be carried out for different caregivers. Finally, health education model should also be continuously improved to raise the quality of PICC pediatric nursing.
目的 探讨神经外科危重患者经外周静脉置入中心静脉导管(PICC)的常见并发症发生原因,同时总结并发症有效预防措施及护理对策。 方法 纳入2009年9月-2012年9月期间行PICC的190例神经外科重症住院患者,统计并发症发生率,对其原因进行分析,并开展针对性预防和护理。 结果 本组患者PICC置管后有75例发生不同类型并发症,其中置管时并发症17例,包括导管异位8例,送管困难6例,穿刺失败3例,发生率为9%;导管留置期间并发症58例,包括穿刺点渗血、渗液16例,意外拔管12例,静脉炎10例,导管部分脱出9例,导管堵塞7例,导管相关性感染3例,导管相关性静脉血栓1例,发生率为30.5%。根据其发生的不同原因,采取积极的治疗和护理措施,并发症得以治愈,降低了并发症发生率。 结论 规范护理流程,加强临床培训,熟悉和掌握PICC并发症的预防和护理措施,可提高PICC置管、使用的安全性。
ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical effects of continuous quality improvement (CQI) in the care of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC). MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 40 patients who received PICC treatment in our hospital between January and December 2011, and then we found out the main problems of PICC catheter care, analyzed the related factors for complications of PICC, and formulated corresponding nursing countermeasures. PICC receivers between January and December 2012 were regarded as controls. Then, we compared the complication incidence and satisfaction of patients between the two groups before and after the implementation of CQI. ResultsAfter the implementation of CQI, complication incidence was significantly lower (P<0.05). The satisfaction degree of patients toward caring rose to 87.8%, which was statistically significant (P<0.05). ConclusionThe implementation of CQI is beneficial to reduce complications of PICC treatment, and patients'satisfaction rate is also significantly increased.
