Clinical Comparative Study of Lower Limb PICC and Deep Venous Catheterization
Objective: To compare the clinical application effects of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) and deep venous catheters placed through the lower limbs in adults, and to explore the advantages of ultrasound-guided PICC through the lower limbs in adults.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 27 bedridden patients with advanced malignant tumor between February 2017 and February 2019. The success rate of one-time catheterization, the length of catheterization puncture time, the number of catheterizations, and the occurrence of catheter-related complications of the two methods were compared.
Results: Results of the study showed that ultrasound-guided PICC through the lower limbs has a higher success rate than deep venous catheterization. The average length of puncture time in adults with PICC through the lower limbs under ultrasound guidance was shorter than that in the femoral vein group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of catheter-related complications between the two groups.
Conclusion: The indications for PICC through the lower limbs in adults include patients with advanced malignant tumor after bilateral breast cancer lymphadenectomy or superior vena cava obstruction syndrome, and mainly bedridden patients. This technique has certain advantages over deep venous catheterization and is an effective choice for venous access.
