 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 11 34 cases of cancer patients PICC catheter [Abstract] Objective To investigate the PICC cancer patients and nursing home management methods. Methods A retrospective analysis of our hospital in April 2009 ~ January 2010 were 34 cases of medical records of PICC catheter, PICC complications of cancer patients and preventive measures . Results 34 patients a catheter success rate was 91.2%, 5.9% incidence of phlebitis, the basilic vein PICC catheter, a lower incidence of phlebitis (P lt;0.05. Conclusions PICC infusion of tumor treatment in patients with ideal channel by basilic vein cannulation success rate, due to the lower phlebitis. [Keywords:] PICC, chemical treatment, complications, care Chemotherapy (referred to as chemotherapy) clinical treatment of cancer patients is an important tool, but the long-term chemotherapy are prone to cause damage to the peripheral vein. Therefore, the establishment of an ideal intravenous access, patients can not only reduce the pain of repeated venipuncture, more importantly, peripheral intravenous chemotherapy to avoid the destruction and stimulation of local tissue to protect peripheral to reduce local adverse reactions, to ensure the smooth progress of the entire chemotherapy [1]. our department since April 2009 ~ January 2010 34 cases of long-term chemotherapy in cancer patients with Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (peripherally inserted central catheter, PICC) effectively avoid the hypertonic fluids and chemotherapy drug extravasation and phlebitis caused by tissue necrosis, the patient opened up a convenient, safe and effective intravenous access. The report is as follows. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 General information on 34 cases of cancer patients, 14 male and 20 female, aged 38 to 56 years, mean 48.4 + -3.4 years old. Which by the basilic vein catheterization in 31 cases, through other venous catheter in 3 cases. All use BD produced the PICC Catheter, model 5F. 1.2 Method
