Background: The challenges posed by difficult intravenous access (DIVA) in clinical treatment are not only related to technical difficulties but also have the potential affect quality of patient care and overall experience. It is crucial adopt effective strategies address access. Currently, assessment veins largely relies on individual perception experience, which introduces a significant degree subjectivity. Aim: To develop validate risk prediction model for DIVA adult patients, providing...

The long peripheral intravenous catheter (long PIVC), a type of PIVC, has an indwelling time 5–14 days and is one the options for antibacterial therapy. However, there no consensus regarding impact insertion site selection on complications associated with PIVCs. This randomized controlled trial included 90 participants randomly assigned to either control or experimental group, 45 patients in each group. In PIVCs were placed forearm, while they inserted upper arm. primary outcome was...

Patients needing medium- to long-term infusion therapy with limited catheterization via the superior vena cava system is a challenging condition. The conventional femoral vein in groin has high complication rate, discomfort, and short indwelling time. Since changing insertion site can avoid disadvantage of groin, present study aimed investigate effects inserted central catheters superficial at mid-thigh resolve issue catheterization.Based on symptoms signs, enhanced computed tomography...

Objective To compare the safety and effectiveness of power peripherally inserted central catheters (Power PICC) double cavity venous catheter (CVC) application in intensive care unit (ICU). Methods 458 cases were reviewed during January to September 2014 divided into two groups: Power PICC group (245 cases) CVC (213 cases), average retention time, successful rate inserting incidence complications compared. Results The time was (21.6±5.8) days which longer than (13.1±3.4) (t=...
