 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 7 Peripheral venous catheter and peripherally inserted central venous catheter in cancer chemotherapy phlebitis observed [Abstract] Objective To compare the peripheral intravenous catheter and peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) in cancer chemotherapy the major complications - phlebitis rate. Methods January 2008 to July 2009 36 cases were first of chemotherapy to the tumor were divided into two groups, 16 weeks of superficial venous catheter except for the A group, 20 patients with PICC catheter for the B group, the basic situation of the two groups was no significant difference (Pgt; 0.05). for care in the observations phlebitis complications. Results A group of 9 cases of phlebitis, accounting for 56%, B group had 1 case of phlebitis, accounting for 5%, the percentage difference between the two sample significance test showed that significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion PICC set shallow tube than peripheral intravenous catheter chemotherapy in cancer patients a lower incidence of phlebitis, and the safety of PICC catheters, indwelling for a long time, local leakage rate than plugging peripheral intravenous catheter with low light, so PICC superficial venous catheters than peripheral catheter is more suitable for patients with cancer chemotherapy. [Keywords:] tumor; chemotherapy; peripherally inserted central venous catheter; phlebitis For cancer patients the chemotherapy to reduce venipuncture times and reduce the suffering of patients, protection of veins, most hospitals are using peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) or peripheral superficial vein catheter. PICC is via peripheral vein ( median cubital vein, basilic vein, cephalic vein) of central venous catheter insertion needle, the tip in the superior vena cava or subclavian vein. clinic for more than 7 days, the long-term intravenous infusion therapy, or for the need for intravenous hyperosmolar infusion, irritating drugs. p
